I have had tons of stuff tossed at me while riding in pace lines ....CD cases, soda and beer bottles but the strangest thing was early one Saturday morning when I was out alone and a mini van full of teenage boys came up along side of me with the side slide door open. One of them was leaning way out while the others held onto the back of his shirt. He was trying to grab the long braid of my hair. I was shouting at them to back off and when they did not I shouted that I knew some of them and was going to tell their parents. With that they took off.
I agree with some of the other respondents...any kind of contact could be dangerous and potentially deadly. What if they had cought my hair and dragged me off the bike and under their wheels? I wondered what were they thinking.....then I realized. They WERE NOT THINKING AT ALL! They had probably been up all night drinking and thought that terrorizing me would be funny.
