it's disgusting how often someone goes out of their way to fuck with you just because you're biking

Had a crazy person yell and throw a Jarritos bottle at me for no reason other than they hate bikes. Chased him down for a mile until he illegally turned to get away from me and I just went home.

Wished I had a spark plug that day…

Ooh, what's the sparkplug trick??

I don’t know nothing about nothing but word on the street is how the ceramic part of a spark plug can be hammered to pieces, pieces that shatter in specific sharp shapes; Shapes that when thrown focus a lot of energy to one point which defeats the style of safety glass used in windshields and car windows. Basically they have a brittle tension strength which is set off by a single point of hard ceramic. Light energy to instant shatter.

Youtube has the videos, I don’t know nothing about nothing.

I also know absolutely nothing about said practice beyond it being called "bipping" to aid those YouTube searches...

I once was walking in the side of a country road with a backpack, because I wanted to walk though Europe in my early youth

In some regions people were shouting and throwing stuff shut me, while driving by, just because I was walking besides the road

I wasn't in the way of anyone and it wasn't even a big street.

Some people just seem to have personal problems...

Newport Beach and that whole area of Orange County is well known for being SoCal's nazi center. Unshocked.

I keep a piece of ceramic from a spark plug in my pocket for assholes like this. Throw a tiny little piece of ceramic at this asshole's back window and all of sudden he has no back window.

These type of people won't stop until they kill someone and even then it's 50/50.

I don't get it ? Why would the window break?

Ceramic is harder than safety glass and makes the glass instantly shatter.
