or did he deserve it for wearing lycra?
assault. Of a sexual nature.
tosser of highest
might have considered it a laugh if A they were going slow and B folk that knew the guy
under no other circumstances is that funny ...
their is never an excuse for spanking a man in lycra no matter how much energy drink you've had
A friend of mine had that happen to him in the early 90s. Needless to say he was extremely unimpressed, as was the driver of the car when said friend caught up with him and smashed the windscreen and driver's side window. If we hadn't dragged him away he'd have probably strangled the driver as well.
They sound like a bunch of losers.
not nice................but very funny........ 😆
not nice................but very funny........
In what way is that 'funny'?
whenever we pass a lycra clad roadie in the car my wife always simulates smacking their arse from inside the car, she thinks it's really funny
sorry Ton, that should not be funny. At all.
Cars, bikes, roads dont mix well..... nothing funny at all. And i'm the first one with some twisted humour normally.
Not nice, not funny.
not nice, not funny, not clever and dangerous.
but it [i][b]is[/b][/i] funny when I do it to another rider, yeah ?
I always do it to my minuteman
It's happened to me once, but as it was a women doing it, I counted it as a compliment 🙂
not nice................but very funny........
for Neanderthals?
nevr had that done to me, had cola squirted at me from a cabriolet and a beer can thrown at me by chavs though
Supporting Ton here.
And astonished that the standard of spelling on that forum is even worse than on here.
to be honest, i was trying to be a bit sensative with the not nice bit..............so scrub that.
it is ****ing hilarious................ 😆
Bak in the 90,s a lorry slowly passed me on a steep up hill me on a road bike, the passenger wound the wuindow down, and said , thirsty mate, i said no im ok, but he still poured a can of coke over me, no helmet, and it was really sticky for the ride home.
Rhyl, a few years later, riding down the side of some slow moving cars, car in front pulls almost to the curb, 4 kids inside it, so i pulled back a bit, another car just driving along side of me, felt somebody feeling my back,and realised a kid was trying to niock my money out of back pocket, i stopped suddenly as his arm got pulled forward by the car b pillar, loud scream and much swearing from kid.
i was cycling up the lanark road and got pelted with bananas by a bunch of squaddies in a three tonner they weren't too happy when they were introduced to their new lycra clad clubswinger though
I feel really guilty now that I laughed.
It was a bad thing to do.......naughty, naughty boys - probably downhillers [img] /shocked-smiley-9451.gif[/img]
Edit: 5 minutes later I'm still giggling [img] /tongue-smiley-8852.gif[/img]

neither , i took them for two hours of physical training
This happen to a mate of mine a couple of years ago. He was riding along and transit with 3 guys came past and one slapped his arse incredibly hard (told us he still had a red mark days later).
My friend is the sort of never hurts a fly type but a couple of hundred yards down the road the transit had stopped at a set of lights. Said friend rolled up to find 3 guys crying with laughter. The red mist descended (he's still embrassed/ can be made to blush when we mention it), he reached down found a large rock and put in the windscreen of the transit. Leaving 3 open mouthed guys in the transit.

Wow that's some release of anger. Anything else happen???
superstar hired him as a race mechanic iirc
If you take away the potentially dangerous element it is pretty funny. Come on, if it was a car full of pretty girls you wouldn't mind! Well I wouldn't anyway. Clearly too much lycra makes you uptight!
Ok, what crimes for this one then.
I was on road bike near Sherston when a van pulled alongside, the passenger window went down and a Jack Russell was held out the window in my face.
Dog just looked at me in a resigned fashion.
So, assault and animal cruelty in one?
If you take away the potentially dangerous element it is pretty funny.
I'm quite gobsmacked that people on here, a cycling forum, find the idea of someone hitting a cyclist funny. What if the guy had been so shocked he'd slammed into a lampost and broken and arm or leg or suffered head injuries? Would that have been funny? If that had happened to your wife or partner or child, would that be funny too?
How exactly do you 'take away the potentially dangerous element'?
Can't see the funny side, I'm afraid.
If someone walked passed you in the street and thumped or slapped you for no good reason it would be assault, surely? Why is being on a bike regardless of what you're wearing any different.
It happened to me whilst out on the road bike (but wearing baggies, I might add). They only clipped me so didn't think too much of it. Looked over my shoulder to see my wife laid in the hedge in tears. They had managed to connect good and proper with her. The hand print was still there a few days later and it's really knocked her confidence whilst out on the road.
Still regret not thinking quicker and getting the number plate etc.
The police don't find it very funny, I was a driver of a car when one of my dickhead mates did exactly this to some lycra clad roadie.
They came to see me and I got done as I wouldn't grass him up.
I was seriously unimpressed and it was at that point I realised I needed a new bunch of mates.
Had it done to me yonks ago, not hard enough to constitute assault i guess but still pisssed me off. Car was too close/too fast aswell so I'd guess driver was in on it.
Ah so ton is pretending it's funny to wind folk up. Shame it just makes you look a bit stupid. most choose a slightly less obvious target.
al.............do you think i give a **** about looking stupid.............get over it mate......... 😆
Fair point 😎
So long as it wasn't too hard it's funny. If it's hard enough to actually hurt and if the rider is going fast enough for it to be dangerous then it's not so funny. imo.
Ok, on reflection any car close enough for the passenger to tan your hide is ****ing dangerous and very wrong.
As a child cycling in Scotland i once had a mix of curry powder and water (possibly wee) squirted in my face and eyes, not good at all.
A couple of years ago at the top of the first climb on the Mega qualifier there were a group of nice french girls running alongside shouting "allez allez roast beef", Even though it was a p*** take I kinda liked that, wouldn't have minded a smack on the bum either. Addmittedly neither incident involved a car being inches away from me.
So.. good natured ribbing/teasing can be funny, but putting peoples lives at risk isn't.
@_tom_ - it doesn't matter how hard either. If you aren't expecting contact from a passing vehicle then the 'shock/surprise' could have an effect. A startled swerve into the curb, man hole cover could have someone off etc.
Granted, the lines are blurring between 'assault' and just being daft in that example. My point is that doing something daft whilst inside a ton or so of moving metal with a cyclist in close proximity is asking for a mess. Most times (hopefully), yes, it will be just laughed off.
It's reminded me of another time in Wales on the road bike, a car pulled up along side and the lad gentley stroked my arm! Had to grin at that one, it was just bizarre!
