just been egged

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

riding along manchester road clowbridge, bmw coming opposite way approx 50mph, something hit me well 2 objects, 2 eggs. they are surprisingly painful. i would not want one in the face. 9.30pm at night on a road that is in the middle of nowhere. why? i got covered and the other got the bike. scared me a bit as i thought they might come back.

There are some really pathetic people out there. Sorry to hear this.

...scared me a bit as i thought they might come back.

Aye, you'll no' want eggs coming back on you in the middle of the night...


Seriously, glad you are okay. One of those things - peanuts everywhere.

 

[potsy]

There really are some prize tossers about,glad you're not hurt could have been nasty that.
Eggs aren't cheap either,these morons must be made of money

 

[Crackle]

To$$ers.

Ask Noodley about the fish

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

weird thing is, i like riding the roads at night in the dark to avoid the traffic and have b roads pretty much to myself. was only 1/2 mile from home as well. it's -6 here the egg froze pretty much straightaway. it does unnerve you a bit. just hope it's not the start of something regular.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

What I wouldn't give for a Tosser-seeking-guided-egg/ink/acid-missile on the bike...

 

[slowmotion]

Quite unbelievable that people do that sort of thing, and faintly depressing that they probably think it is a bit of fun . Don't dwell on it... there is a special corner of Hell reserved for them.... even during their lifetimes

What a shame that you are unable to reciprocate by going round to the BMW owner's home and treating his car to a can of brake fluid over the paintwork.

To$$ers.

Ask Noodley about the fish

...or my community warden experience...


Both threads were good.

Two cartons of double cream in the grille at the top of the bonnet where the air intake for the passenger compartment heater drags in air???????

That's revenge

Jeese, there are some bad eggs out there. Scum.

Next time ask them for chips and sausage to go with your scrambled eggs.

Lucky they weren't hard boiled......

I was out riding with friends one evening a couple of years ago and we got egged by a car load of young morons on the Long Causeway (not too far from where Shaun is talking about, for those of you not from round here). They did the same thing to an old cyclist further down the hill, and they did it to us again a week later. It's as if they drove around all the time just waiting to find some cyclists to do throw things at.

It's pretty painful to get one on the back or in the chest but an egg in the face could easily take an eye out at that kind of speed.

 

[Crankarm]

Just thought, carry something ready at hand to throw back - egg or rock. If you happen to find the vehicle pour a bottle/carton of rancid milk into the heater vents in the bonnet .
