as for turning every other cyclist into a target, I think it did just the opposite, now they know not to throw stuff at cyclists in traffic because if they have the balls or adrenaline or something, they can catch up.

Also I wouldn't have gone after them the second time if they weren't still throwing eggs at me. When one came extremely close I pulled off the sidewalk and went after them again, then I kicked the mirror off.

Nice one, Guido."
No 10th grade.


"Good job, I'm glad you stood up for your self. I bet they will think twice before messing with a cyclist again! And I think MrC said it best, your are in school and sound like a smart kid (heck I would of been scared to be seen on a bike at 15 ) Of course thats about the only way I get around now.

On a related story. A few years before I was born, someone pulled up beside my dad while he was on his motorcycle and they were in a truck. They tried to hit him with a lugnut wrench or whatever they are called, while driving down the highway! He pulled off his helmet and smashed the guy face in with the helmet and somehow it ripped the guys eyebrow off.

I'm sure someone will criticize him for that, but I might not even be here now if he hadent done that."

Exactly
