Did you have water thrown over you in Rich Park this eve?

I was cycling from the bottom of Broomfield towards Roehampton gate this evening and saw two cyclists going the other way (at about 2030) have a bottle of something thrown over them from the passenger in the back seat of a convertible Mini as it overtook me.

I got their reg number and have called the police. I didn't see the cyclists well but did see the car/occupants.

Drop me a line if you want any more details.

    Might want to stick this in commuting too, lot of RP users there I seem to recall from my occasional lurking.

    did they throw a bottle or did they sprinkle some water on them? In the latter case, I wouldn't bother to call the police, given the heat wave... unless it was urine, of course... :wink:

    I agree, had a drive by water pistol shooting yesterday whilst walking to the car. I'm quite sure it was just water, or hope anyway lol

    If it was the Richmond-end of RP, it was probably sparkling wine or champagne, if Roehampton however..(unless of course, you're Cav? :-)
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Scum must have a different meaning in Italy.

    They did that from a drop top?

    Idiots, surely they are asking every cyclist who witnessed to incident to empty the contents of their water bottles into the drivers lap.

    I suggest you post the VRM in Commuting Chat so we can collectively return the favour, after all it was very hot today.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    I had this myself on Wednesday, though living in Manchester its not very likely to be the same people :oops:
    I was actually on my bike and luckily, right at the end of my ride in case it was anything other than water :shock:

    Have we lost the sense of humour?
    What's the problem with a sprinkle of water on a hot day?
