Yesterday I was hauling my paper recycling in my BOB trailer, when suddenly I was hit by a nearly full soda bottle by a kid in an SUV. I yelled, then pulled over to see if I had my cell phone so I could call the police. I didn't have the phone, and as I got ready to start riding, the SUV passed again going the other direction. A couple of the kids were yelling obscenities. Luckily I wasn't within range, or they probably would have thrown something else at me.

I'm tired of this kind of abuse while cycling. I called the police and they filed a report. I said I would press charges but I doubt much will happen. I got a tag number, but wasn't sure about the last digits. You can be I'll be on the lookout for that SUV in the future.
