After three years of pleasantly uneventful cycling to & from work, suddenly yesterday, on the way
home, I passed a group of kids who had taken it into their heads to throw water bombs at passing
cyclists. Today, another group in a different place were throwing eggs. The water group scored a
direct hit but I wasn't too bothered - at least it was only water and it was a fine day. The egg
group missed because I saw the signs before they started throwing - broken eggshells scattered
across the road - and immediately took an evasive course. But, after nothing for three years twice
in two days is a bit scary. What's going on? Has there been some silent declaration of 'chuck stuff
at cyclists' week or what?
