I've only ever had the odd sarcastic comment or expletive thrown my way before from motorists and to be honest i look goofy when i ride so maybe it was warranted. Yesterday however......
I was trackstanding at a set of lights when some barely pubescent div pulled up next to me. The shiny new motor his parents had bought for him was filled with obnoxious and raucous children heckling me and inexplicably, one of them pelted me with a fucking egg!
I almost toppled but managed to unclip and stay upright. The lights were still red and i moved in front of the car while shouting and threatening (unconvincingly). I'm usually a passive member of society and so would normally take the reg and report it, but rage took hold. As the lights changed and as the car of laughing children swerved and moved off i rammed my cleated sole into the door panel and gouged 4 feet of the paintwork.
The little fuckers stopped and were gearing up for a confrontation but i just sped off rather elated.
Maybe it was an overreaction. EDIT: No, they were cunts and hopefully learned a lesson.
