Ever had weird things thrown @ you...

[singletrackmind]

Poor hedgehog!

Lessee,

Pennies, bottle of soda, rocks which reminds me-if you're a couple of kids don't throw rocks at someone on a mountain bike on the road because they might just chase you down through back yards and what-not and give you a good loud what-fer about cyclists being persons and not targets and make you wish to pieces you'd never done any such thing (yep, true), ice cubes, drink in styrofoam cup from ski lift above me, brick,

that's some of it.

Commuting through NE DC--I was chugging up a hill slowly and a few teenagers were on the sidewalk, laughing and joking around. As I passed, one of them rolled a big rock--bigger than a softball--into my front wheel. Luckily I didn't go down, but I was not a happy camper. I just kept going and changed my route after that.

I had a guy throw hot coffee all over me while sitting at red light on my bike.

Someone deliberately pitched a CD at Raleighdon it hit him in the sternum.

but the best one i know is a guy from Canada. he's 6'2" 200 pounds sort of dude. Someone threw a bag of ice at him, hit him in the chest. He had extensive bruising later. Lucky for the truck driver, he did NOT catch up to them. He did get their plates and report them..

Half-eaten hamburger--disgusting! It didn't actually hit me, but I was so shocked I didn't get the license plate number. I hope I'll have greater presence of mind if that sort of thing happens again.

I really feel for both the boy and the hedgehog.

I couldn't resist some unproductive googling. But they are really cute:




A hedgehog with broken bones (after colliding with a cyclist?):


And finally, how to wash a hedgehog (you've always wondered):
