Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Preface, I ride my bicycle in the road. Not in the middle of the lane, but along the curb, staying out of the way traffic mostly. The bike laws here are such that if you are hit by a car or any other incident involving cars where it’s the car at fault you must be riding on the road to be considered for right of way regarding any insurance claims, if you’re riding on the sidewalk you’re considered a pedestrian, and unless you have a walk sign cars have right of way regardless.
While riding my bike in my neighborhood the other day, right around when schools are getting out, a car came up slowed down and got in my blind spot so I could really neither see or hear them and they pulled up real close and honk and then speed away, and I can audibly hear them laugh. Now, I’m pretty fast, I ride light racing road bike. They were in my neighborhood so I follow them as best I could, and then lose them. But I know what car’s theirs and I find it. I go up and knock on their front door, I see one of the kids, looks like a high schooler, and trough the door I hear the kid say to the other, “Oh shit! He followed us!” And he scurries away and doesn’t answer. I was wildly angry, but I was simply going to tell them how dangerous that is for bike riders. Wasn’t going to get violent, wasn’t going to yell. I’ve been hit by cars five times, never been my fault. Cops have always sided with me. I just don’t want it happening to anyone else because some dumb jits think it makes for a good laugh.
So, they didn’t answer. So I decide I’ll get some petty, harmless revenge. Around 12:30 AM I rode over to their house under the cover of darkness and let out the air from his passenger side tires. Hoping when their parents found out they’d have to make up some lie about how/why/ or who caused them to have two flat’s. TL;DR Kids purposely spooked me riding my bike, I got petty revenge by letting the air out of their tires.
