Almost done with my daily ride a few blocks from home when a passenger on an SUV screamed from the top of his lungs, "LOOK OUT!!!!", I almost lost control and go down a ditch, luckily I maintained control and decided to follow them.

It was a 16 year old kid with his mom and both laughing, usually when it is a bunch of kids I let it pass as that is "normal", but when I saw the mom was having the time of her life thats when my blood started boiling. They did the terrible mistake to have some fun with me when everyone is getting off from school so there was a lot of traffic. I caught them on the second red light...


I never do this of confronting a driver, but I just cant believe the mom was having a blast by letting her ****** son do such a dumb thing. The act did not bother me much, anyway... I got on the driver's side and screamed as hard as I could and told the boy and the mom to get out of the car, Now whats so funny and who is laughing, and a few other words that cannot be typed here... I was going to do a police report, but to hell with it. Man, the look on their faces was priceless, white pale stoic like mummies...

I know what you mean, people are ALWAYS yelling at me when I ride around. People have thrown full water bottles at me, heck, somebody even threw a slice of pizza at me, I have been shot at with paintball guns, attacked by other kids on bikes, and run off the road by those POS new cars that are WAAAAY too quiet. That last one is the reason I can no longer ride my Trek 800 Antelope
