It just never ceases to amaze me that this happens. What is most amazing to me, is how often cyclists have food tossed at them. Just think: People can actually afford to buy food, and throw at at someone else, just because. Over the years, I have had "the usual" objects tossed at me: Beer bottles, (twice, and always a certain domestic brand. Funny, that.) eggs, (once) Partially eaten fast food, cigarette butts, (always from the crappiest cars imaginable.) and on one funny occasion, a half empty cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee. It was a crisp spring morning, and there was a pretty good headwind. This junky small car (with a coat hanger radio antenna) goes by, and a real Harvard PhD type yells something highly intelligent at me, then hurls the coffee. What happened next was a thing of beauty: The coffee, caught in the wind, made a lovely arc, and splattered all over the side and rear deck of the car. No, not a drop came near me. PhD type then shrieks something else of great wisdom at me, then they sped off as fast as possible. (Car belched funny, blueish smoke..) I didn't see the driver. Guess they were late for their jobs at Quicky Lube.
Well.... I'm done ranting now. Good night, and good luck.
