Tosser

Well, tomorrow I'm off to the local plod. I'd go tonight but in deepist
ruril Nofik, there isn't a local plod at night :-(

Cycling into Weigh****chers as per usual on a Thursday evening, the local
chav in his custom paint jobbie car played his usual game of how close can
we get to the cyclist. He is a dangerous tosser - and this is a regular
occurance on a Thursday. This week he really did have me almost off the
bike. I am only semi-joking when I say that if my arse was the width it used
to be I think I would not be in a position to be typing this, I'd be dead
:-( So tomorrow I'm going to report him to plod. I don't actually this plod
will do anything, but at least it'll be reported and if the tosser does
manage to kill me one week, they'll know it's not likely to have been an
accident...

On the positive side, at WW I discovered that this week I have managed to
lose 4.5lbs, bringing my total weight loss since middle of December 04 to
57lbs, or 4st 1lb :-)

Cheers, helen s

Can I suggest a cheap disposable camera? Next week when he tries it,
have the camera ready and take a flash picture, and another as he drives
away. It will worry him enough that you have photographic evidence that
he may well be put off trying it again.

Only difficulty, he comes up behind me and he's speeding, probably well over
60mph, so I haven't got time to take a picture :-(
I don't suppose you know how to fit an Exocet missile launcher to my
handlebars?

In that case you must be able to hear him coming and just happen to
drop the bag of dry wall nails you'd picked up from the local hardware
store on your way home ;o)

And have a car approaching you at speed get a blowout in a front tyre?

Good thinking

Just one? No, all of them, much more likely to keep going in a
straight line and slow down rather quickly.

Think of a way your D-lock could accidentally fall off the bike and
be struck by his car.

Of course if police do speak to him he will claim that it was "just
a joke" and you "can't take a joke."

A trifle heavy and the exhaust gases would not do much for the
hairdo.

As an alternative http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/SmallArms/57m18.htm
might still be a bit heavy for the bike. However the ability to fire
high explosive, high explosive anti-tank (HEAT), and smoke rounds to
4300 yards, without significant recoil, might be a good way of
dealing with the unacceptable face of motoring.

Sounds like someone needs to revisit 'The Adventures of Spike Bike'
for inspiration.

Would a rifle rack do?
