Stuff like this is pretty expectable if you have the audacity to ride a bike after you are 10, and go forbid on public roads! lol
In all seriousness I cannot even guess the amount of times Ive had stuff thrown at me (eggs/bottles etc) aswell as random insults, threats and attempts at being run over.
Ive also had a fair share of random people try to start fights or knock me off, not even to try and steal the bike. Just because a cyclist is such a novelty and target for fun. Had a member of a gan of loitering thugs try to kick me as I rode past. The event sunk in a few metres after I passed, I was so incredibly furious I couldnt stop thinking about it. I knew I couldnt go back then as there was so many of them. But I kept scheming & running things through my head about potential ways to smash there head in. I actually hoped to bump into a few of them again, I kept my eye out in the area for the next few days very furious and ready to D-lock them to death in the head. But the opportunity never arose.
