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???
Nope nothing else happened, but my friend disappeared fairly sharpish after the incident.
I rode La Marmotte (Dark Side) four years ago and when I was riding up Alp D'Huez there were crowds of french supporters on each bend with water/sponges (it was super hot) to help cool you down. Unless you were wearing a Discovery top or riding a Trek. Then the sponges/water was thrown at you. Not big fans of Lance in those days!

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.
Unbelievable.
So is it funny if I walk up to and push you in a non dangerous way? Would it be funny to run up to a woman in the street and in a "non dangerous way" jiggle or even mock jiggle her breasts? No, it's ****ing rude tw@tish behaviour. I'm amazed at some of the comments in this thread that seem to imply that because the guy was on a road bike and shock horror, wearing the most appropriate clothing for doing a road ride, lycra, that it's ok to endanger and just play some practical joke on some innocent guy going about his business.
When I was about 14 I had a shoe thrown at me from a passing car that caught me square in the back. Not too funny at the time.
Though it does explain why you see loads of lone shoes littered around the roadside/central resrvations etc.
what he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Must be a serial shoe thrower then..... 😀
In Spain whenever we get shouted at (which is often)it tends to be up at the top of a hill or mountain and is usually "FUERTE!!! FUERTE!!!! (strong, strong) or "Campeón Campeón ole ole ole!!!!! and they are usually clapping and cheering at the time too.
I wish more UK drivers were like those in Spain and most of Europe.
Even a scream/shout from a passing car is enough to make me wobble & see the red mist.
I think my favourite on this thread is yanking the brakes on and forcing the perp's arm against the B-pillar.
TheBrick, nobody is saying it's right, but 'sometimes' these things can be funny( I don't mean harassing women.)
A friend of mine came round to help bleeding my brakes, on completion he volunteered to to test the bike down the hill I live on. He returned covered in eggs and eggshell, some chavs had bombarded him as he rode down the hill. It could so easily have been me, but my poor friend took a bullet (egg) for me. Would he have laughed had it been me?
Pretty sure you know the answer to that!
Out many years ago with (the now) Mrs Dazzlingboy having a quiet Sunday afternoon ride round wee back roads - no lycra more a picnic in the rucsac type outing. Bunch of neds in sh1tty car pelted us with eggs and raced off pi$$ing themselves. Mrs caught the worst of it and was properly upset - tears and all. Anyway the neds obviously thought they'd have another kick of the ball and came back for seconds. Obviously saw Mrs blubbing by the road side and me advancing towards them 👿 and decided enough was enough and beat a retreat.
Thing is though - gang of teenagers in a car with a dozen eggs? I reckoned they came out specifically prepared for this and looking for a victim. This was not a spur of the moment slap on the arse but something else. Thankfully never seen the like again.
Something similer to this happened near me a couple of years ago, the rider fell into a ditch and broke his back,
the scrotes were never caught
Not funny.....
