This is what I don't like about velomobiles: they attract too much attention, especially from a category of people who tend to show very little respect and often seem to be a few beers short of a six-pack: teenagers.

Tonight I was riding by a high-school at the end of the school day, right when the teens usually flock outside the school gates, when the light turned red. As I was waiting for the green light, one of them threw a coke can at my velo, which landed smack on the shell.

Needless to say, I was none too happy, but there's no reasoning with a group of teens in dumbass mode, so I just shouted a couple of invectives and left when the light turned green.
