So today was my first day back on the commuting wheels since my bad accident. This morning went great, fully aware of all dangers and happy I finally got back in the saddle. Tonight, just left work and there's about 6 kids (maybe 12years old) in the road, shouting carrying on etc. I'm nervy as it is but I pass by them slowly and carefully and take a sigh of relief. Next thing I felt a hard thump on my back and ones of them has thrown part of a brick at me! Full breaks, going slow anyways so I was ok but in the road and shaking. Turn round and they're running off...
This time I rang the police straight away, no second thoughts. Well, I got onto a safe path first!
Police came round to get full details and the policeman was actually one of my best friends brothers funnily enough!
I'm fine, got a bruise on my back but didn't fall and no damage to the bike.
Really made me think though. My son is a bit older than them and never in his life would he ever do that to someone. Then thought... Neither would any of his friends either. So this one kid who threw the rock v's all these great kids, I know...hmmm maybe natural selection is working...
