I've twice had soda cups thrown at me, both times they missed. Apparently they aimed as if I were a stationary object instead of a moving bicyclist as they landed just behind my rear tire. Goes to show you the intelligence of the type of people who throw things at cyclists.

The only thing I've had hit me that was memorable was a swarm of tiny hard bugs--it sounded and felt like somebody threw a handful of uncooked rice at my head. We recently had a butterfly migration in the area, it was pretty cool riding with them until I had to head back and ride into them--getting hit in the face with a big bug like that is kind-of creepy.

You ladies... just make me feel lucky for only getting hit with bird poop... or whatever it was.

Hmmm, let see...
pennies, ice cubes, cups, soda bottles, a brick, rocks, squirrell poop, bird poop, snot rockets, the innards of one of the forks on my shock when it blew up mid-air (thankfully not on the landing), another cyclist getting used to her clipless pedals, rabbit innards splattered by a car, a truck who's operator said he didn't see me though I was directly in front of him, wearing bright yellow, when he hit the gas (I had right of way, he was stopped at a stop sign). And hands from passengers in passing cars (twice).
That's all that comes to mind at the moment.

PS. Squirrell poop is a yellowy brown and thicker than bird poop, could this be it?

Hhhhhuuummm... I live in Texas. We are known for carrying concealed weapons... I don't have a hand gun liscense... but I might want to rethink that.

I wonder if I can put a shot gun rack on the back of the bike?

[spazzdog]

I'm working on it

You just might be a redneck if you've ever even considered putting a gun rack on your bike.

I think I'm a redneck.
