Stopped behind a car to get onto the roundabout and some wee lads a few metres away (like, under 10) started throwing glass bottles from the PILE at their feet at me as well as at the cars. I was so taken aback they were ok to chuck them at people that I was just LOOKING, and one hit me in the face - bounced of my helmet, but pushed my glasses into the bridge of my nose so I was bleeding. As soon as I could move I headed through the roundabout and stopped at the handy <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Grosvenor+Road+Police+Station/@54.595949,-5.9401168,3a,75y,95.22h,105.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZ6KlJcXQi6Km3gtOs7FuxQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x4860fffdd7d08a3b:0x2e57162cefc7c531!2sBelfast!3b1!8m2!3d54.597285!4d-5.93012!3m4!1s0x48610858a1a4281b:0xb8b12812b8f2c703!8m2!3d54.5960754!4d-5.9396794?hl=en">PSNI station</a> just on the other side. They refuse to even go and chase the kids off (they had a look on the CCTV at the roundabout and could see they were still there! "They're too young to prosecute." "Yes, I wasn't actually here to get them SENT DOWN guys!"). Police assumed I was there to start the process to make a "claim". Had to call friends to pick me up as I was too wobbly to ride home. Erch! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18445#post-269195 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 20:19:48 +0000 I were right about that saddle 269195@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Got stoned in Dalkeith on NCN1. Great accuracy from the young tearaway - hit the back of my helmet from a good twenty metres.</p> <p>Not very brave though. Ran away home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18445#post-268986 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 08:50:33 +0000 jdanielp 268986@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I saw Dougie on a narrow boat on the canal filming for Landward a few months ago. I'd never realised that he was in Deacon Blue. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18445#post-268982 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 01:17:09 +0000 paddyirish 268982@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not good for John Beattie - hope he is OK and the perps get discovered and punished.</p> <p>We were at the next table to Dougie Vipond at the Revolution Series in Glasgow last Saturday night - he was out getting p1$$ed with his mates, so we didn't bother him. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18445#post-268978 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 00:33:01 +0000 unhurt 268978@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>(I met Dougie Vipond once.

Luckily you were able to control your bike when it happened, others aren’t so lucky.
