Egged on the way home

[Rob Q]

Coming down Rectory lane this evening heading towards Chipstead valley road I was hit full on at the back of my helmet as the to**ers drove past. At first I thought they hit me with a bottle or a bat as the impact gave me a right old jolt. I stopped to check what happened and realised then I had been egged. Fuming I tried to chase them down to get there plate, by which time the pr**ks had disappeared. What losers get their kicks by doing that and potentialy causing a serious accident??

Tw#ts in a Cleo threw an apple head-on whilst I was on the London to Cambridge ride last summer would have hurt if it had connected. At least they gave me a sporting chance since they were coming at me at about 70mph! I was expecting refreshments to be handed out in a more civil manner! Hopefully a one off Rob (since I use that route too) and sounds like you stayed in control - that could have been a lot worse.

'orrible ain't it!

I was cycling to Griffin Park a few years back to watch Brentford v Tranmere and I got egged. Saw the arm movement in my peripheral vision. Threw me off balance and I fell off. Screech of brakes car stopped inches from me noggin (yeah I know - missed my brain by etc etc...). I quickly and carefully removed my head (still firmly attached to the rest of me) from under the front of the car and gave chase. I was furious.

I found myself in the middle of an unfamiliar housing estate and I'm surrounded by kids and parents. "What's goin on?" I'm asked by one of the adults. I explained and I knew who the egg chucker was so pointed him out. His Dad got pretty agitated - towards me. I felt vulnerable. I was surrounded and the atmosphere was turning hostile pretty quick. Then a mum comes round the corner with her kid, the guy is in tears. He fesses up and everything changes. The angry Dad directs his grrrr at his son and as quick as this crowd materialised, it disappeared. Leaving me, covered in gooey egg, standing there a bit shaken up. Scrambled you might say.

I rode off to the pub, bought a new t shirt on the way and got beered up. Watched the game then took the train back home.

Eggciting or what!

It must be something about Chipstead Valley Road. I was riding up there a couple of weeks ago, a black Corsa came up behind me and began to pass me really close, the passenger then lent out of the window and tried to punch me in the thigh
He only just managed to make contact with me, so I stayed upright OK. The driver then put his foot down and they disappeared off up the road, so I only managed to get part of the reg number.
