attacked in brixton

[Jake]

Just heard from my other half that on his ride home between clapham and bixton, that some "youthz" had stopped another cyclist, demanded his bike, but he managed to ride off. He was chased and one of them thumped him on the side of his head!!! He warned my other half and another cyclist. He had called the police.

be carefull out there folks.


(ride home was fun, not as bad as yesterdays wacky races, but still RLJs, with one, i was just waiting for the claret as the bus just missed him. He went throguh red light and thought he could just keep going. Another cycled through red light, got off his bike past the white line, pushed it over the road between oncoming traffic, and carried on)

Feral Yoof seem to be getting more brazen.

Between Clapham and Brixton...Acre Lane?

Jeez. Makes me glad I'm not commuting in London. The worst I've had so far is a yoof in medallions and a hoody ride his bike straight at me on our local cycle path, making me swerve into the verge. Didn't bother giving him the satisfaction of a response. Partly because I was worried he'd turn round and come after me and there was no one else around to help me!

Blimey - what time of day / night did this happen at?

 

[Jake]

around 19.00, not sure of the road, will have to find out. No police about so people can do what they like, it's proven over and over again.

 

[Sittingduck]

Not good

Shocking, there must be a market for cycle self defense. Posted this stuff before: http://www.stoppashop.co.uk/self-de...ays/stoppa-red-mk3-uv-self-defence-spray.html Keep yourself safe out there folks.

No, thing is they have the upper hand as they behave like pack animals and us normal people think they all carry knives and AK47s. (the knives they prob do.)

I cycle through Brixton every evening. I thought all that knocking you off your bike and nicking it stuff had finished years ago.

My Muay Thai trainer always gets asked by newbies "How do I defend myself against a knife" He tells them about the old Thai art of Nike in such a situation.

Thai art of Nike

run like the wind?

 

[Jim_Noir]

That's the one.
