Ever had weird things thrown @ you...

[tulip]

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.

OMG. Did you get his plates?

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):

Those hedgehogs are so cute!!

I had a boy throw a dead bird at me in grade school. Does that mean he liked me?

While cycling - an unopened can of soda, general paper trash and a tin of tobacco (gotta love tobacco country!).
