traffic cone to the head.
 

OOOOOOK...so I don't post new threads very often, but tonight i just felt like i had to share, so I am biking home tonight in brooklyn on myrtle ave and i see some kids holding a traffic cone. the thought crosses my mind..."hmm, that would be f*@#ed if they tried to throw that at me" and sure enough, before i know it a traffic cone is being hurled at me. i tried to swerve and miss it, but alas i ducked and it hit me, and for once i can actually say yeY! for helmets cause it really wouldve hurt probably had i not had one on, so that is another reason to wear helmets: crazy traffic cone throwing kids. thank god it didnt get jammed up in my front wheel. so that is my story...waht is wrong with kids these days. I didn't throw cones at bikers when i was a kid...oh well, i'm fine, my bike is fine...all i could do was yell "f%#k you!"(first thing that came to me)..and then laugh it off.

yeah the kids around clinton hill are little bastards. nothing better to do but start sh*t with people. This is a big reason i don't usually take myrtle. it's also littered with rocks and glass.

probably were asking for it.
hipster.

i know i know, my fashion always puts me at fault.

...if i saw me, i guess i'd throw a cone too.

Last time kids threw things at me (a bunch of glass bottles, one after another), I swung around and rode straight at them, shouting. Gave them a good scare - they scattered, and I know a couple of them were still hiding under a car about 20 minutes later when I passed by again. I don't think they'll do it again anytime soon!

haha.

thats what i shoulda done! like i say, all that came out was "f*#k you!"...next time though, next time...
grrrrrrrr

I hate when I get knocked about the head with cones. Oh wait, depends on the cones.

Don't worry about them, they will get done sooner or later if they keep it up. These things have a way of coming around.
Still nothing changes, and still Clinton Hill is gonna be part sh*t-hole because of it.

Place sure has changed since I went to school there tho.

stupid kids.

Dunno. Afterward, all I could think about was how stupid I'd been... most kids in that neighborhood are probably armed to the teeth, and here's my skinny white ass coming at them with nothing... I was probably lucky to ride away intact! ;)

yeah...i'll never be the aggresive type. anyone could beat the poop outa me. to be honest afterwards i was like, eek, maybe i shouldn't have said f*#k you. just gotta ride on. be the bigger person. or something.

Before I even noticed where this happened, I thought of Clinton Hill. It's probably the only place in New York I've ever had kids screw with me repeatedly. One time they rolled a razor scooter at me in the road.

Looking back I probably should have kept the razor scooter. It would really increase my transportation options - I could lock up my bike on the corner, and ride the scooter down the block to work.

This is why I ride at night with a couple pound u-lock in one hand. Nothin' like a bit of steel.

damn. them are fighting words.

yo

he's my best friend.
i was just messing with him.

are you sure it wasnt these kids they seem pretty hardcore.

HA! yup, it was definitly those hooligans.

by the way, i've never met hyperrevue in my life, what a jerk...i mean seriously!

i was biking downn my street one day when i felt something whiz past my head and then heard a 'ping!' on the fence nnext to my head.. i looked across the street and some kids had shot a pellet gun at me.. those lil.... i didnnt stop.. they aer all in the shady apartment with older brotheres that would hurt me bad

a pellet gun?!
and necklous is whining about a rubber cone??
what a wuss.

Now I have a snappy comeback when someone gets hurt.
"Well, it beats a traffic cone to the head"

Enjoy
