What's the best thing you've 'shot' with a stone from your tyre?

Since the snow thawed a lot of roads have not been swept and there is loads of gravel and small debri scattered everywhere. It seems that for every 3 miles I ride I managed to shoot a small stone out at quite high speed in a random direction.

The other day a very nice lady gave way to me in here little renault - I gave a wave of thanks and my ungrateful tyres decided to shoot a stone into her wing mirror. Luckily, no damge done and she didn't seem to be too worried by it.

Anybody managed to hit anything else like a pedestrian, or break something?

the sherrif.

Not the deputy?

Instant Karma.

I managed to get a car driving far too close to me and I expect it at least chipped the paint to bare metal , if not dented it, judging by the noise it made.

I ran over a pigeon once.

That only counts if you shot it afterwards

I've hit passing cars too, but I also thought that they deserved it.

It's hard to say if it was actually me that caused it or not, but there I was riding my bike over some grassy knoll in dallas, texas sometime around late november 1963 I think it was and the most terrible thing happened...

hehe. i love this. you get the telltale "pop" as the stone gets fired then there's a moment of anticipation as you wait to see if it's going to hit something that'll make a satisfying "ping".

I've hit a few taxis, so satisfying... I always get the horrors I'm gonna hit a little kid or something tho'...

I'm always worried it'll hit a phsycopathic driver and I'll then get involved in some sort of death race.

I've definitely hit cars before. Not my fault tho...

And scared a fair few pedestrians, which worries me a little more. But you can never tell which ones will 'pop,' if at all.

I also ran over a cat's tail this morning. It darted out about 3 meters in front of me from some cars, took a quick glance and (obviously) ran across. I think I got the tail only. I stopped and rooted around under the cars on the other side and in the front gardens but could find no trace of the little nipper, so hopefully he/she was ok :(

Buses and geriatrics mainly. Buses because it's their just deserts, geriatrics because it's just euthanasia.

euthanasia

reported for racialisms against chinese kids.

I fire stones into other vehicles every other day or so but last week, I was riding along and felt/heard(I'm sure I can feel them ping out from under my overinflated gatorskins) a stone fire out towards the pavement.

It could have been a total coincidence but I'm sure I heard a ped say a short sharp "ow!".

No way of knowing whether it was the stone but for some reason I smile when I think about it!

I shoot blanks

JFK, it was an accident. Sorry.

Were you on the grassy knoll?

I was on the 5th floor of a book shop, doing tricks n shit.

Small world, eh!

Hit a friend's frame. He wasn't very amused. Made an awesome sound though.

I try never to hang around long enough to find out,had some good hits though ;-)

EDIT.............Already done................

Shot a silver taxi cab yesterday who was engaged in an aggressive overtake. Was pleased to see it put a good chip in the paintwork.
