It's not just in London...

Cycling back from Brighton, around Turners Hill, I was going up a hill when I heard shouting. Next thing a car comes along side me, with a passenger hanging out of the window who tries to push me off my bike. I managed to stay upright and they sped off screaming and shouting.

Tried to get the number plate, reported it to the police but I did not get the full registration number so pointless.

glad you're ok dj, how was the ride down. weather was loverly...

(I had a similar experience near reading, except no passenger, just a lary WVM, and a long time before I joined this place)

rest of the ride was great, perfect fish and chips in Brighton and then back home

knackered now

you will have to make do with knowing that they are sad retards with no brains.
i was out in the hills today and a member of the local intelligentsia in a 4x4 asked why my mate was wearing his underpants on the outside?
my reply was "because he's a superhero who fights crime"
i don't think it was the answer they were expecting.

Went to Esher in Surrey today, heading down the A3 (on the bikepath, as it's basically a motorway) there was a convertible pulled in, next thing I know I get hit by a bag of rubbish from the side. I do think it was actually an accident though, they were throwing a bag of rubbish into the ditch for some reason and didn't see me speeding along - just judging by the noise the woman who threw it made after it hit and bounced off me, she sounded surprised rather than victorius.

God knows what was in it - vomit, a nappy, shit?

As an aside I swear car drivers in South West London are worse than in North, had a few pull out into the cycle path without looking and after shouting at one got the usual "Do you pay road tax?", to which my answer was "No, and neither do you". Bloody motorists.

thats brilliant, definitely going to be my comeback when someone says this to me.

yes i plan my comebacks

in Brasil we have a few idiots who like to hit cyclists with the rubber floor mats from their car.....which is nice!

as much as i'd hate that, and as horrible as it is, i actually find that pretty funny (maybe just the way i pictured it) haha!

In Glasgow yesterday, a car full of men coming back from the football were shouting the usual crap out of the window as they overtook me, and then one of them threw a lit cigarette out of the window straight at me which hit me on the chin.

They were Rangers fans, though.

Ive been told by a club roadie that a full water bottle will smash a windscreen...

A d-lock definitely will.

Its probably more likely outside London...
Some complete stranger shouted out "oi pegleg " aimed at me I suppose as I hobbled across a park carpark last week.

its unfortunate but some people are just dicks. i got heckled by a car full of lads, because im growing a beard they were all shouting JESUS JESUS JESUS really loud, no rubbish thrown though

Turners Hill might be a twat black*spot - I've had shit there before.

*yeah, yeah - racist

ha!

I've had a half full mcDonald's milkshake launched at me from a fully-pimped-up Nova complete with comedy exhaust and bevy of teenage oiks. Thankfully it missed me and hit my wheel.

Bottles of coke are another favourite - the majority of my commute home is on Sussex country roads and I get far more dickheads shouting / throwing things than I do on the 'urban' bits - I guess because generally there are no other cars about...

You mean you don't consider your bike an extension of your body???

Recently I've been answering that I do. Since the VED was restructured, all vehicles that emit less than 100g CO2 per kilometre do not have to pay. Bicycles are vehicles and the emit no CO2 per kilometre.

Not just outside London? Yeah, They're just as bad, just a different kind of twat. I had some sandwiches thrown at me recently, which missed by a few inches. Caught them up and took a photo of their car, complete with blacked out windows (with cardboard) and reg number, and reported to the police. If you are in Sussex you can report this stuff under their operation crackdown of whatever it's called.

What kind of sandwiches?

A few weeks ago I was walking home after a party, and as a pimped up little corsa or whatever drives past, some tracksuited cretin leans all the way out of the passenger window and lobs a full, unopened can of coke at me. It hit me right in the face, just above my right eye. The car must've been doing 40 to begin with, so it was quite the impact.

This was all related to me by a friend, as I was, understandably, knocked the fucking out.

What kind of sandwiches?
hard to tell, wasn't as close as this:

I can confirm that a full waterbottle can definatly take out a car windscreen .. I did this by accident to a Merc I when my waterbottle didn't get back into my cage at the beginning of last years dun run. ;(
