Dear sir,
I know that you will probably never read this, as i realized at the last minute that you are a blind man... but i wanted to apologize for almost running you down on my bike yesterday. i was 100% sober as i was cruising the strip, on my way to start my new job. I yelled "excuse me", and kept cruising... i saw your wife move out of the way and so i thought that you would too. What I should have done was break right then and there instead of assuming that you would be the one to move for me to pass . But I didn't, and by the time i put on my breaks it was too late, my front wheel was between your legs and your butt was up against my handlebars. Had I still been going you surely would've been knocked to the ground. ( I was reminded of the time i was a child, just learning to ride a bike, and i really did run over my friends grandmother. Maybe thats why this is still on my conscience) When you turned around I saw your walking stick and felt like a total asshole. (Even if you hadn't been blind I still would've felt terrible, but this just put the icing on the cake...) I put my hand on your shoulder and I must have apologized 10 times, and you had a smile on your face as you told me, "don't worry, it's ok." I appreciate that smile, because you could've been a huge jerk to me, But it's not ok, and I really am sorry for my lack of consideration.
From this moment on I promise to be more cautious and considerate while riding my bike.
