Bile riders (self-propelled and motor) have always been a target especially
the slower ones. Our boss decided to ride a 175 to work,..he was in his 50s
and a slow rider. One day he was puttering across a 2 lane bridge and some
dead-shits in a car moved along side him and slowly tried to run him into
the guard rail,...they were laughing and thought it a great joke.
In all the years I used to bicycle around Sydney ( 30 mile round trips were
often) I rarely had any trouble except for the occasional instance where a
car load of yobos would try and 'golly' at you or some one would open their
door,... . Storm water-grates with the bars running the wrong way were
interesting.
