What's the word for the sound when...

[GrumpyGregry]

...your rear wheel goes over something acorn sized and fires it off at 90 degrees to your direction of travel?

Tyreade perhaps?

 

[fossyant]

Ping or peowww

 

[vernon]

Ptang!

Best served with gin and a slice of lemon.

 

[alicat]

Sorry ... if it hits someone else's bike as seems to happen to me a lot.

 

[Dayvo]

Another one for ping. But definitely not pong.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Ptang!

Or pzang. (I was in a primary school playground last week and spent ages trying to pedallywink an empty plastic bottle to the rubbish bin but it started pzunking - plastic bottle, remember - in the opposite direction. I quite fancy trying it with golf balls in a car park though.)
