My husband, son and I were all out on a ride yesterday. We were out in the country on a nice, wide two-lane road with shoulders that were almost a full lane wade. It's a very popular area for local cyclists because it's so nice and open - no conflicts with car traffic.
We were enjoying the ride - husband and son a little ways ahead of me - and a car with a couple of young men came up from behind us. They passed me and then the passenger threw a large restaurant cup full of pop and ice directly at my husband and son. It was obviously very deliberate. It didn't hit them, thankfully, although it came very close to my husband's feet.
Since we then saw the car turn and head into a nearby small town, my husband made a police report and the officers (county) were going to chat with the town's officer - at least put a bug on the radar screen. Two guys in a mid-sized red car - that's about all we got, but sometimes that makes a difference in a small town.
However - in spite of that nasty assault, we did have a good ride. It was the best weather we'd had in quite some time - in the 80's, very little wind - beautiful.
