Riding on a medium traffic street, a teenager on a scooter gets cut off by a car. He's pushed into the curb, gets launched into the air... and lands right in front of the doctor's office.
Cycling through a recreation area, I cross a bridge full of ~10yo kids who are jumping off, trying to land next to small boats so people get wet from the splash. Another boat comes up, guy riding the boat pulls out a baseball bat to threaten the children. He passes the bridge and all seems fine... but he then throws a beer bottle which almost hits me in the head.
Downtown, not riding but sitting on my bike having a smoke. Guy comes up and asks for a lift because he really needs to catch a train (the station is about 500m away). I decline. He gets pissed and walks off talking shit... and runs face first into a lamppost. I give him a pity ride, laughing all the way.
I'm 13 years old. Red light at the intersection, there's a line of cars and I'm trying to ride to the front. It's a 2-lane street with plenty of room for bicycles on the sides, and it's customary for cars to keep some distance from the sidewalk so bicycles can pass. Everyone does, except one asshole who has his car all the way to the side so I have to enter the sidewalk to pass him. Look back and make a gesture that he needs to give some space. Go to the front. Light turns green so I go. Suddenly get hit in the back, bicycle gets dragged under the car. Guy pulls up next to me, gives me the finger and rides off.
About 10 years old, me and a bunch of friends are heading to the same recreation area of incident #2. Keep in mind, all of these incidents took place in a small Dutch town. We suddenly see an old but luxurious Mercedes escorted by several cops on bikes. The light ahead is red so it's going by us very slowly. We approach to see who's inside... and it's none other than Michael Gorbachev, the last leader of the USSR and one of the most famous world leaders in the world at the time. He waved at us.
