Dumb BMXr

While on my ride today i was at 16 miles of my 22 mile ride clipping along at around 20 mph. up ahead i see 3 kids (16-17 yo) on the sidewalk one on a bmx. As I approach the kid on the BMX decides he is going to bunny hop into my lane on the road causing me to aviod and almost putting me into a car then bunny hops back onto the sidewalk.

then he proceeds to ride on in the oppisite direction of me.

I spin around (note to BMXers you cannot outrun road bikes)

I have few choice word with the kid.
I ask him if he has any other tricks to show me because i am really interested. kid has no helmet.
he tells me he hit a rock and fell into my lane.
he is trying to back away from me falls off the curb and almost into a car.
I tell him it's karma.,that's why you wear helmets. Get a helmet and ride on the road.

Moral of the story...

You use your bike as a weapon don't be surprised when someone retaliates.
