Lousy punks. In my day we respected our elders, ate our vegtables, and felt guilty for jerking off. What's the world coming to?

I had some punk kids javelin one of those plastic tubes that go around the bracing cable on a lampost (if that makes any sense). Just about took it in the face. Stopped to stir up **** with them (I was really pissed off, and could have been hurt). Then I realised there was four of them, and they were drunk, so I quickly made peace and moved on.

Bastards.

And to think, I'm likely one of the youngest people on this forum, and I already hate teenagers...

yeah...i laughed too...it was a traffic cone....but um, your not gunna believe this but i didn't learn my lesson. I was down at brooklyn college tonight and was biking back up to williamsburg, didn't exactly know my way back, i was just heading north...and i don't know exactly where i was but I GOT HIT AGAIN! a bottle to the face(pretty sure it was plastic but it hit me between the eyes. i didnt say a word...just kept biking, didnt' look back, i was already pretty nervous that i was getting lost in a ****ty area. finally made it home. this was just stupid of me i guess. I don't know brooklyn well, i guess i shouldn't just bike around and think i'm safe. but heck, 2 days in a row...whooe!

Wow. That sucks. The worst I've ever gotten is a doughnut to the back of my camelback flung out of a honda. Worst thing about that was the Boston Creme splatter.

Myrtle sucks a$$, little thugs like to screw with people and it'll get back to them. It's all about karma. I didn't move anywhere around myrtle when i move out of the dorms cuz it's such a sh*thole and I don't feel like getting bugged all them time. It still happens around my area, but a lot less than if I were on Myrtle. Mostly they just say stupid sh*t and I just ignore them. Clinton hill is better, but it's still brooklyn and can't avoid it.

hahahaha, stet has an "ass grabbing" story in philly as well. Man, I love this city, free ass grabs while riding. I think his was on Kelly Drive though. I guess if I were going to choose one area of the city where I would probably get my ass grabbed, it would be old city on a saturday night.... then again, thats probably the place I would choose as "most likely to get a beer bottle smashed in your face by some south jersey meathead" What a great city!

Bikes: steamroller w/ rattle can paint job. campy record pista cranks, thomson stem y post, phil black track/track hubs, velocity rims (black), black spokes and nipples to wrap it up.

i've had pellets shot at me, sodas tossed out of windows in my general direction, food all sorts of things. people just dont like me, at least not in little towns in iowa. ha ha long story, but when hitch hiking the country, try to stay out of small towns, or at least not get stuck there for days on end.
