Anyone else ever been hit by any other random fruit or indeed vegetables?

I bet he was pea'd off when that happened!

Seriously, sounds nasty and I hop he makes a swift recovery

Nah, just tea, coffee and cigarettes.....bit of fruit would make a refreshing change, but no melons...please.

I know lots of people that have had fruit and various things (including bricks and small rocks) thrown at them while running

I had an apple lobbed at me by a kid. He was too far away to hit me.

Also had a kid chuck an apple at me whilst riding past on his bike.(I was on foot) A mistake on his part, as cycling and throwing aren't really compatible. I was able to catch it and chuck it back.

I've had fruit thrown at me many times. It always makes me laugh though cos the scallies who do it don't take into account that I'm a moving target. By the time the object reaches its target, I'm not there anymore - I'm some way past it with a smile on my face muttering "silly sods"

Anything thrown at a cyclist = NOT FUNNY :twisted: .
Ha Ha Ha fruit and vegetables !
Ha Ha Ha cyclist falls off bike !
Ha Ha Ha cyclist ...

"Police said the attack on the cyclist may have been deliberate. " Nooooo surely not! Just a bit of fun :evil:

"This may not seem too serious an incident, but the piece of fruit was travelling at high speed and it has left the cyclist in a lot of pain. " - that is real pain not a seaside postcard joke FFS.

Had a glass bottle bounce off me from passeneger window of a passing car - luckily it landed back in the road without breaking or falling in my back wheel. Chased after the scrotes as I knew there were some lights half a mile down the road, but they changed to green as I got there. :evil:

I've been hit by celery - but only while watching Chelsea :twisted: (there's a crowd favourite song called Celery which used to end with lots of the vegetable being thown in the air. It is now banned
