I was outside my house last summer on my road bike eating to join the traffic. Bazzed up focus coming down the road, dad egging 10 yr old kid in passenger seat to do something it looked like. As they went past me the kid threw a McDonald’s bag, a big one containing the whole family’s rubbish at me, it hit me on the head, lucky I was stood still.
I ran in the house and wrote down the number. Called 101. Police attended his house, took a statement from me and he had some community order thing. Good result.
The copper said someone else locally had a can thrown at him from a car and he fell off into the traffic, near miss. Put me off road cycling a bit. Cyclists seem to some to be a legit target for random acts of violence. This is in rural hampshire. I don’t know what’s gone wrong.
