idiotic pedestrian child!

[Russell Allen]

I was out on a training run Monday night and had to turn around as I approached the river Wid Bridge near Stock due to flooding of the road following heavy rain. I decided to divert about 6 miles and try to cross the river a bit further up near Margaretting, on my way down to the river a small car packed with teenage morons overtook me really close, blasted the horn and shouted out of the windows in an effort to make me jump. Imagine my delight when I reached the bridge only to find them stuck, up to the top of the wheelarches in the floodwater requesting that I "help them out" I suggested that having failed with "asking the audience" maybe they should "phone a friend" To say I chuckled as I cycled home would be a major understatement. "Karma Man its the best"

Kids do this........

What he said, I mean - you know, they allow KIDS out of their houses without training in the consequences of saying BOO!

There ought'a be a LAW against it mate!

I used to get that for a short while two or three years back when I'd be out walking the dog. Some eejit in a passing car would shout out the window, 'BOO!', or make some other loud noise meant to frighten me. It never did frighten me, even when they were wearing a Scream mask.

As quickly as it started, it stopped again and I've never had anything since.

Yep, happened a couple of times last night, as I cycled through a 3 mile tail-back (I guess they were getting frustrated and reverting to childhood .

Or perhaps they were cheering, having all parked their cars to line the road and warm up my ride home .

Eh? A kid? Holy shoot man it's a jungle out there. Hang up the bike Lee and build a pyre in the yard with petrol and lycra cause you ain't cycling no more.

Indeed. Pretty scary stuff. I passed some kids yesterday who half-shouted "nyeargh" at me. At least I think that's what they said. Should I risk ever going out again?

I usually inform the shouters that I've had deep, meaningful carnal knowledge of their mothers.

Drives them berserk...

He told me to come back when my mum had dropped.

A non sequitur "your mum" response is pretty funny though

This happened years ago to my wife passing a bus stop. Some genius jumped out and gave her a right scare as she went past. The trouble for him was I was cycling behind her, and he didn't see me. He got the same treatment back.

back in my day it was kids shouting "Ere mate yer back wheel's going round!" at cyclists... it can induce a moment of panic, before the word 'round' sinks in.

Sometimes I ride past a school when they've had enough and turf them out. I've had a line of kids going "Doh! Doh...! Doh..!" as I ride in my Homer jersey.
