Denting cars and running off

Yes Yes Ya'll
Should I feel bad for putting a dent in some chap's car, giving him false details and then running/riding off quick and changing clothes when I was out of sight ?

Should I feel bad?

do you?

yes

He was pretty nice to me, picking me up off the floor.

If you have to ask the question you probably know the answer.

don't do it man, it's bad.

Yes you should feel bad.

Think of it this way - if it was the other way round, and a car driver gave false dets to a cyclist whose bike he'd damaged then fucked off, there'd be roaming gangs of fixie riders hunting them down.

Mind you, it is one up from the cunthead that knocked me off my bike last week then just fucked off without stopping. Did I mention that yet?

ok, the good news is that my pride and joy is unscathed although my hip is rather blue. Apparently the guy had just had his old shitty looking car resprayed and I was about to pay for another one.

depends on whether you put dents in his car,
or whether he put dents in his car whilst knocking you off...which was it?

it's not a great start...

if you reckon on karma, you could get what Hutch just described coming to you 2nd class post

Dudes ! I've certainly paid my dues in the being knocked off stakes. I think the dent stuff was me as there was a tyre mark just below the dent.

...and his car wasn't moving at the time of the said inci'dent'.

oh.

well....

have a drink old boy, forget about it. take more care in future, what.

I have a tally of foxton mini's that i've booted as they turn left in front of me and then stop dead when they see me. Another one last night. They are cnuts, I have no guilt whatsoever about kicking them and riding off

Just put a firework in their exhaust at the lights.

now this IS good work.

+1 to RPM. Damn, those are some decals I want!!

Yup exactly the same has happened to me except they (possibly foxtons, definitely a mini driven by an estate agent) fucked off without seeing i was ok.

you've done it now, and unless you decide to somehow try to sort it out properly you might as well bury it.

no point crying over bad decisions.

I'm rapidly getting to the stage where one day, a good hard slap on the side of a car that overtakes too close isn't all I'm going to do.

My commute isn't that urban (I head out to NW London every morning) but still I get nurks trying to overtake me when there's clearly not enough room to do so. Ever been overtaken by a yummy mummy in a 4x4 on a mini roundabout? Scared the bejaysus out of me, I thought I was going under her wheels.

Sometimes, whacking the side of a car with an open hand to remind them that they're about to squish me doesn't seem enough, you know?

I carry my minipump inna little pouch on my courier bag and it makes for a very handy kubaton. I also sometimes wear MTB shoes with studs. I put it to you - at what stage do you think it's appropriate to do more than just wake the doxy fuckwits up by thumping on their pratmobiles?

No, but it sounds absolutely filthy

D-locking the driver's window so they get a face full of glass is only possible when they are in heavy traffic or at the lights, and then there's witnesses so you'll end up in trouble..

Perhaps Phil wood needs to consider this concept for his next hub design?

Charlotte - push downwards hard on their offside wing mirror as you sail back past them.
