Default Anti cyclist missiles

My turn on Sunday to have an egg lobbed at me from a car full of yoofs on a
country lane.

Just to confirm they were Total Losers they missed ;-)

(I did harbour a fantasy that I may round a bend to find the car in a ditch
with them trapped inside at exactly the same time I needed a pee and my
mobile 'phone battery made a public display of being discharged)

Pete (who's not in the least vindictive).

Am I the only one who's been *shot at* by a motorist I must have
delayed for all of 7 seconds?

I have been punched and knocked off my bike by a t*sser in passenger
seat of car..all because "I was going too fast at possible o/t places"
obviously I should have slowed down at these places same as a tractor
is obliged to.

Got his reggy though and contacted police.

No... I was shot in the leg by an airgun wielding moron on my way home
from work last year. Police attended and were helpful but not optimistic.
They let me use their first aid kit, and made me a cup of coffee while
they took a statement. I carried on riding home.

I had a letter in our local paper about this. I pointed out that the

bozos
should have paid more attention in their physics class. If they chuck a
bottle out of the window AFTER they've passed, then it's going at about

20
mph AWAY from me.



So they will know better next time

I was at a critical mass type ride in london town, in memoriam of a cyclist
killed by a drunk driver and some lovely fellow, obviously offended by the
infringement of his right to move at 30mph actually decided to try to run a
good set of people over. At least 5 people were knocked off, horrible,
horrible things happened to his car after that though. Havn't heard anything
about this man being caught though, maniacs like that shouldn't be too hard
to spot.

Moving fast, even on a bike seems to do funny things to some peoples heads.
