Unpleasant and Puzzling

[MacB]

So there's me coming home tonight, slight problem as front derailer not shifting to granny ring. Had to do whole commute in middle ring, coming up Cricket Hill Lane, 1.1 mile hill, 16 miles into my journey home. Get the 'sense' something is close, thankfully didn't look right round, splat, cold drink all over my head and back. White van, with motorway maintenance on the back, then speeds off, I didn't get the number. No doubt with 2 sub-human morons soiling themselves through laughter. Would cheerfully have ripped his throwing arm from the socket and beaten him to death with the wet end.

On the plus side I was so distracted, and angry, that I reached the top of the hill without even noticing Even scarier I wish I'd had Mags camera so that I could have perused the No plate at my leisure

/insert rant here

There seems to be a spate of this at the moment.

If someone attacks one of the 'ampsheer CC posse, they attack us all. Time to reveal my superpower........"Size of an elephant!"

Seriously, the food/drink thing has never happened to me but I can imagine how humiliating it must feel. Without any plate or witnesses, going to plod would be a waste of time I suppose?

GOD!! What is wrong with people!

Luckily i've never had anything like that and its not only digusting but dangerous!

Ba****ds! and Cowards!

These c***s will have forgotten about it entirely once they'd finished laughing, and gone back to their empty lives.

I'd suggest that you try and forget about it too, if possible.

Davy's right to point out the danger of it - a touring cyclist in Australia recently had his jaw broken by some c*** throwing a beer bottle at him from a car.

There seems to be a lot of morons out on the roads at present. Glad you're OK.

A couple of years ago someone threw an apple at me. And apple! Who throws an apple???

Looks like a Thorn Tour to me (but not as ugly )

I think they are Cannondales, but don't quote me.

I had the pleasure of squirting an open top Merc with my water bottle.
That was after some verbal abuse from the driver.

She stopped and got out. I shouted "Your mascara's running!"

Hey, take a look at that 'frame fit' box. why haven't I seen one in my LBS?

Take this to the 'Panniers vs Rucksack' thread.

A tandem version would be great with the back rider acting as a rear-gunner. Armed with a selection of hand grenades and an AK47 should be enough to keep the inbred gimps in the cars and vans at bay.

I've never had anything chucked at me apart from verbal abuse - there are some very stupid people about, sounds like they line up to lob stuff at Lee, must be a rough area!!
