Cycling home tonight, unlit bike path with steep embankments either side. Out of nowhere, 6 or 7 car tires roll down across the path right in front of me.

No time to react, knocked me straight off my bike and busted it up a bit.

Heard what sounded like kids running off in the darkness laughing like a bunch of ****.

Rant over. :mad:

Did you tell them to get off your lawn?

Hopefully they will have recorded it on video and will upload it to YouTube later so we can all laugh at it.

Sounds like you could have avoided them if you weren't so............... Sleepy.

But seriously - that sucks. Sorry to hear it!

6 or 7 car tyres? That's a bit overkill for one cyclist. A pretty inefficient operation if you ask me. Heck, you could take out 2 or 3 cyclists with that!

As a cyclist I find this offensive.

I'm generally able to dodge around the first 3 or 4.

Clearly they attempted on frenchtart first upon realising their mistake they upped the ante and got qqg3.

In essence its frenchtarts fault

So far not a goodyear for the OP.

This is what you get for being a cyclist lol..

I assume the starred our word was kids - or maybe not.
Andi.

Where's that cyclists thread I made?

savagesam117 · 26 Feb 2016 at 20:09

I would have just jumped the tyres personally.. No excuse for you being a crappy cyclist

So funny man.

Maybe its the booze but I found this funny

NoobCannon · 26 Feb 2016 at 20:17

sounds quite funny

They'll most likely be around the same area at the same time next week, not that you should do anything about it

robfosters · 26 Feb 2016 at 20:18

OP didn't play enough Paperboy as a kid IMO. That would have trained him up nicely for such eventualities.
