A couple bananas jammed in there using my frame pump as a ramrod worked just fine, I'm sure. At the very least it would make her car run like complete crap.

Back in middle school the class below me shoved a potato in one of the teacher's exhaust pipe. It ended up screwing the car up pretty good and costing a decent amount of money to get fixed.

Fausto, you're my hero! Riding in and around NYC, I get bumped and almost killed so much... so I'm proud of you for taking care of business. I wonder what Transportation Alternatives would think?

my personal opiion, which, I am sure, you do not care about, is that what you did was inappropriate and just simply not right

Okay, what should I have done? She hit me with her car. I could have been killed or seriously injured simply because she was annoyed at my (legal) presence on the road which was apparently preventing her from getting to the shoe store in a timely manner. Put yourself in my shoes and tell me you wouldn't have gone ballistic.

No kidding. Try it some time and see how it feels to go over the handlebars or some other similarly spectacular fate in the middle of traffic. Fausto probably has above-average bike-handling skills -- someone more amateur might have been knocked down to the road by that idiot driving the car. What would you say then?

When will people realize that roads are built for humans, not cars? Said humans happen to ride bikes as well as drive cars on them.

Did you catch her liscense plate? I hope so!

Tag, color/make of car, bigass DUKE sticker in the back window....it was definitely the right car.

DUKE fans... i'm not surprised. they're all a bunch of idiots.

anyways-- nice job Fausto.. have a :beer: on me

 

[KK]

should have found something to put in the gas to blow the engine or maybe cut the brake lines. I can't believe someone would hit you and then drive off. Hopefully this bitch will not reproduce.

I believe there are some steps "prescribed" by law in those situations that You could have taken, and not just do Dirty Harry/Robin Hood thing on her

This was discussed. In a nutshell, it would just be my word against hers since I wasn't actually knocked down (hence, no physical evidence that she'd hit me). At best the cop would give her a warning; no way in hell could he actually write her a citation for something like that unless I were scraped up or otherwise mangled. A confrontation with her wouldn't have gotten me anywhere either since she's obviously already made up her mind about bikes on the road. She chose to treat my life with contempt so I returned the favor with regard to her car.

Rightfully so!

I'm six four and a half and I work out regularly. What if I chose to start punishing people in the manner I find appropriate for the things they have done that I find offensive/wrong? What if I smacked your grandmother or mother or sister if I find them looking not politely enough at me?

Did you think about that for a second?

Taking "the law" in one's hands is not appropriate, in my opinion.

Also, cowardly choosing to not face one, but to strike from the "hiding spot" is not exactly something I find respectable in a man's behavior.

But that's just me.

I guess if one wanted to help one's bruised ego, that it is OK for a guy to mess with some lady's car.

You made your choice.

I just expressed my opinion regarding this matter.

That is all I have to say about it.

hmm, what's that monkey doin' looking under my car ?

See, this is why I don't take you seriously. You're either just trying to stir up the crap or you didn't read the thread or both.

SHE HIT ME WITH HER CAR. I wasn't just yelled at or something; she hit me with a four-ton vehicle. 6 more inches to the right and I'd have been under the wheels. I get yelled at/honked at/etc all the time....no big deal. Actually trying (and succeeding) to hit me with your car is quite another story.

To put it in perspective: if someone were verbally abusive to you, odds are you'd walk away, right? Okay, so what if they yelled at you and then punched you in the face.....would you still walk away or would you retaliate?

Fausto it was worse than a punch in the face. You should have said "if someone shot a gun at you and missed what would you do?" LOL, defend yourself a little better there in the face of ignorance.

Well, you get the idea. I don't go around damaging cars because someone offended me as WRX implied. Verbal assault != physical assault.

On a pushbike you get hit, the perp drives off and you are left nursing much more than a bruised ego, I can tell you.

Comparing this to overreacting to 'bad stares' from my Granmother shows you have little comprehension of right, wrong and how it feels to be aggreaved by a party who believes it is OK to endager the life of someonw who cannot possibly keep up with you to take you to task.

Fausto no doubt would have loved to 'talk' to the driver, but they were not with the car by the time he came to it.

I for one, as a cyclist, can understand his feelings.

Your height and 'work out' status means nothing to me or this argument and is meaningless E-posturing. The question was:

"Every been hit by a car while riding a bicycle?"

"See, this is why I don't take you seriously", -

and that truly hurts my feelings.

I cry and stuff, ya know?

"You're either just trying to stir up the crap ", -

Got me there. Especially with the amout of time and posts I do on this forum.

"you didn't read the thread or both", -

it was too long to read and i did not want to waste time

but I think I got the basic idea from few first posts

"SHE HIT ME WITH HER CAR", -

yeah, I got that. And now you must k1ll her and all of her family, right? That will teach them.

BTW, she even won't know where the banana came from. So, not even a lesson learnt.

"To put it in perspective: if someone were verbally abusive to you, odds are you'd walk away, right? Okay, so what if they yelled at you and then punched you in the face.....would you still walk away or would you retaliate", -

people don't get ideas like that around me. Just the irate ones on the boards, who are safely miles away from me.

I'd hardly consider it an eye for an eye. If he tried to mow her down that would be one thing.....I would have done the same thing if I almost got ran over and received no apology and no sign of remorse.
