Wait til 11yrold girls throw leaves at you, that's truly horrifying.goo_mason said:Didn't that kind of thing happen a few years back on the Roseburn Path, near Craigleith ? I seem to remember reading about someone getting caught with one at head-height and getting a lot of damage to his neck.
Not 100% sure on this, but it may also have happened to Maggie Wynn who runs TryCycling In Edinburgh - or was that just the giggling kids who smashed her in the face with a lobbed brick ?
Touch wood and all that, but since I started cycle commuting in April '06, I've never come across that particular nasty trick. Had bottles lobbed at me, and been threatened by an 8yr-old with a brick, but those were isloated incidents and not an everyday occurrence and didn't happen in the dark.
I'm not sure of the detail but they did happen, somebody in the CTC told me about the incidents.goo_mason said:Didn't that kind of thing happen a few years back on the Roseburn Path, near Craigleith ?
