I got hit in the butt buy an egg lobbed from a chaved up renault clio, thought at first that the wing mirror hit me, wasn't until I went for my water bottle and found it covered in yolk that I realised what happened. Didn't think of phoning the police, but went and rode around all the chav estates looking for the car as it was pretty distinctive, with the plan of deploying a few drops of DOT 5.1 over the bonnet. Fortunately didn't find it though!0

Oddly enough - one of the 'best' things to use is in fact an egg. Crack one open on the paintwork and by the morning it'll be through the clear lacquer and on the way through some of the colour paint.
As an ironic weapon choice, it's hard to (ahem) beat.Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

It's not a nice experience, disorientating, and likely to cause a fall, and hence possibly a death. If they were dropping things on cars from a motorway bridge, you'd take it seriously.
Sam, I'm probably one of those people who appear not to be taking it seriously. And though I haven't taken a recent hit, this is more because yer average chav passenger is absolutely useless at throwing things with any accuracy. I have had a very close miss while travelling at just over 30mph and I was acutely aware that a direct hit could have caused me some serious injuries - not from the can but from the aftermath.
And yet I still join in with the pun-fest because I'm one of those ''you have to laugh or else you'll cry'' people. Humour is a defence against adversity. But my apologies if you find it insensitive.
No, it wasn't the puns that bothered me, I'm all for laughing at adversity and they appealed to my puerile sense of humour. It was the people suggesting that the OP was wasting police time and taxpayers money, and that he was a crybaby. It's perfectly possible to cause someone's death indirectly with an egg, and I'd even say that given time, it's inevitable. What's worse is that as soon as it's acceptable to do that, the same muppets will think how much more hilarious it would be with a full can of coke, for instance. This stuff is much more common in America, which is a downright dangerous place to cycle compared to here, and I am very much against letting the UK slide that way.

The OP was right to call 999. This is a serious incident, and if we don't take a stand then it gives the criminals free range to do it again.0

I'm not sure I can advocaat calling 999 in all cases though......0 -
Will be interesting to see what the police do.
Wonder if they do it often, or was it just a eggsperiment.0 -

They've been caught following an identity parade of the local chav scooter brigade.

It's vitelline we don't pander to any soft centred yolkers and remain hard boiled without cracking, soldiering on until these chalazas are off our streets.

I agree with the point that calling 999 was the wrong thing to do.
Calling all King's horses and all the King's men might have been more appropriate.0
