It's a crappy weather day today so rather than ride stories, what is the funniest, strangest thing you have ever seen cycling?
Mine is where a mate had taken up cycling and we used to ride the 10kms to school in a group of about six or so. Naturally pacelines formed and as a newby he would often try and get a free ride out the back. We got sick of this after a few weeks so first I decided to give him a push with my front wheel on his back wheel, this freaked him out as told him my going down would be on him not being able to hold a line. Next we would ride along side and lob spit through his front triangle. This was on the way to school and unfortunately the odd stray lob would hit his socks or shoes. I can still remember his screaming for relief from the thought of having an oyster hit his socks or shoes. He soon joined in taking pulls and we all got to get to school a little quicker and fresher. We still would play around with wheel on wheel pushes and such, no one went don, just as well considering we weren't wearing gloves or helmets. 17year olds never think of what might happen.
