tedious bogans

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

riding Beach Road this afternoon, an urban assault vehicle of bogans drove past and emptied a barrel full of supersquirter water all over me, also did the same to a female rider in front of me. I'm used to the verbal abuse, but really this is getting rather tedious. At least they were stupid enough to do it on a warm day rather than a cold day:-)

Or water pistol + neat ammonia (works for vicious dogs as well ?).....

It's times like this when I wish I had a helmet cam or something so that I could go to the police.....but then I'd have to ride responsibly too.....hmmmmm.

Been thinking about bogan deflection diversion tactics, say a bogan friendly jersey or kit along the lines that Primal currently design. Think Chisels, Angels, Australian Idol, Anna Coren or whatever the proles are currently into.

Would bogan-friendly kit make them think twice (obvious sarcasm, do they have the ability to self-actualise) about verbally abusing someone? Could interactions with bogans be deflected into more friendly events, like:

WAAAYYY TER GO MOITE LURVE YA JERSEY

or even

FULLY SIC BIKE MOITE

or maybe

LURVE DER FIXY CONVERSION MOITE - SHES FUGGING HAUTE

Might dissolve the water pistol. Besides, violence begets violence
and it's doubtful escalating such a situation is going to "teach them
a lesson". Though I will admit the desire to throttle the pricks is
difficult to overcome.

You certainly don't want an arms race. Reporting their rego
to the cops might earn them a phone call, you never know...

.... or an assault charge ... recall Gemma's recent case with egging in
Adelaide.

Assuming you don't mind having a partially dissolved water pistol tucked
into your nicks, leaking down to your ....

Maybe carrying one of those water pistols that look a bit like a real gun in
a shoulder holster outside your jersey would be enough to stop the nonsense
happening in the first place. ;-)
They're cowards anyway so I doubt it'd escalate. They only do that sort of
crap because they think you'll never be able to catch them. If you do catch
them they're not hard to intimidate.
Another option would be the laser beams of death -

brake fluid in a squirt bottle, does wonders for paint work if not
cleaned off :)
