Peds!

3 minute happenings..

Yeah, I was cycling down old street and in the distance I saw some dude aiming to throw something in air so when I cycled past it would hit me. It brushed my arm and I realized it was an egg (didnt crack on me but on the floor) I turned around, saw him laughing then cycled off. After going cycling on for about 10 seconds I thought nah fuck this so I u-turned and I saw the look on his face drop immediately especially when I hopped off my bike and he saw I was about a foot and a half taller than him, the two girls he was with shat their pants (I think they thought I was a rudeboy or something, ha!)

At first I was literally about to clock this guy in the face but I actually never fight and Im always the one to try and resolve conflicts on the street. I was just like "dude what the hell man, what the fuck was that about" and the girls where making up some bullshit about how they thought I was their friend cycling and how it was a joke. I was like "what if it had splatted in my face/eye and I crashed etc.." and they apologized. I didn't make a scene out of it, I didn't raise my voice or anything like that, passers-by didn't know what was happening - just kept it chill but i was pretty angry. They tried to make light after that being like "o cool trainers, cool bike blah blah and I just rode off.

To be honest I think I scared them more by remaining calm.

Sorry to hear about your mishaps cheevil you should move further up the W7 bus ride journey to Crouch End - its lot more friendly around here!! =)

There are a couple of kids that live in coucil flats just before the roundabout who frequently throw things at cyclists. I got rocks thrown at me, none of them hit but they were pretty fucking close.

I've had a couple of people walk out on the road and see me coming and just stand there smiling at me (normally suits). I normally feign a dramatic avoidance, though in one case I got so angry I just rode into a guy. I slowed down enough to not do anything serious, I just hit him in the stomach with my handlebars/fist as hard as I could. He was totally shocked by it and I managed to get a few swears in and ride away before he could really react.
