I just got punched by a Jay-walker in a suit

Don't tell pork pie Chris, there's no such thing as jaywalking here!

+1. Hope you're ok. Down the years I have been punched, hit with brollies, briefcases and shopping bags.

And that was just Anna!

when I nearly hit Keith Chegwin on The Cut...fncking shortarse

Fail, that was an opportunity.

Yep, I've had the treatment Joe got a couple of times, pretty much the same situation, once on a a skateboard (which for some reason seemed less unusual). I didn't do anything except shout 'cock'. Which I guess was at us both, him for being an aggressive idiot, and me for mixing Italian and Japanese componentry on an English frameset.

I was chased a while ago, gave a suit hailing a taxi a hi 5. He didn't catch me but looked pretty pissed off.

I just went through soho...nothing... no one tried to touch my face or anything.
your balls on the otherhand...

if you managed to yell move three times, sounds like you had enough time to go around[I][/I] I don't advocate any hitting well done for not hitting back but if there is one thing that fuck me off is car drivers using the horn instead of the brake.

dogs i wouldnt let you touch my balls with any of your hands.

That's how Ray rolls... He likes to rock out with his cock out... Doesn't everyone?

I had a baseball bat swiped at my head on Amwell St - the driver jumped out with it, and chased after me, I was going down the hill, with a freewheel, so just kept releasing the brake every time he got within 10 yards of me :)

that's a long baseball bat!

that's a long cock!

thats how jonny rolls.

i considered it, but deiced that the police would not look happily upon me stopping, calmly locking my bike, then twating him in the face.

@kisho

ha ha. no, not at all. But the comedy of it would be worth it.

^^ Sounds like the time I had some fat suited idiot running after me, I was a courier at the time and was cycling on the pavement. Cue abuse, cue 'fuck off prick'
Everytime he got within a few metres I would push down, whilst goading him to hurry up and he looks like he could do with the exercise. If he would have caught me though, he would have been way too fucked to do anything about it. God knows what he was trying to prove.

Did you read the original post?

I like a 9 yard safety buffer in a GBH context.

One of my favourite pass-times whilst riding is giving bus-hailers high fives.. On the rare occasion that the timing works out it's pretty awesome..

Never had anyone get angry at me for doing it though

Did you read the original post?

yes and as i read it, it sounded avoidable. "everyone else stopped..."
etc

I wait for the right handed hail and loudly mumble "fascist!" as I go by. Cue much confusion and occasional mirth.

Thats irrelevant though, these fuckers need to be taught they can't just walk out in front of cyclists expecting them to stop. Would they do the same if Chris was a bus?

i always want to do the high 5, but never have. RESPEC!

sorry a confrontation being avoided is irrelevant?
ok then...

Against my better judgement.

" he runs up, and punches me as i cross his path"

I might have misread it, but if some cunt runs at you there isn't a lot you can do.

If Chris was a bus, he'd probably be a buss.

haha

semantics. If he ran at chris then chris wasn't going very fast.

All i'm saying is i have nearly hit people in my way several times (their fault) and still apologised.

move along nothing to see here.
