Cyclist 'critical' after attack

[asterix]

shut up! what is it with people on here. What is wrong with suggesting what may have happened? What difference does it make mate?

It's a hard life. eh Jake? You post this and get slated for seeing as a joke:

Just wondering if there is a tougher version of CC? wondering if there is a militant sub-group?

(ps violence is bad, stabbings and all that. more a joke post. although know i'm gonna get slated)

..and then you post this and get slated for speculating on what might have happened:

Bloody hell!

A cyclist has been left in a critical condition after being attacked by four youths while he was out riding.

Makes me really angry reading abouth that, I have always said to myself, though I am no double hard bastard, if in that situation and I am going to take a kicking then get hold of one and make sure you really hurt him, I will bite an ear off give a chance, if I end up battered to death at least their is some DNA, gouge an eye out that kind of thing, if you are going down, at least go down fighting.

certainly is funny Ddin't know people were keeping tabs/score on me or that I was so popular!

Surely specualtion is a good thing in that it opens debate, some into peoples own experiences? If you shut it down then where would we be? Is the world flat or round, no lets not speculate, lets sit here and do nothing lol. If no one puts their views across then there would be no fourm. I don't see what is wrong with speculation?

yep, it can get a bit anal on here with folks demanding evidence and all that, sometimes people are just shooting the breeze. You may not like how others shoot the breeze but live with it.

 

[Jake]

That's awful!

Every time I read about stuff like that, I am even more glad that I live right miles and miles away from London where most people are nice and the pace of life is pleasant!

That sucks, luckily I know all the backroads and ways home round me so if anything did happen whilst I was riding I could at least try and loose them :/

Brave skum..5 against one,really brave ! I hope justice is served but in reality the poor little mites will have issues at home that made them do it and will get off with easy sentances if they get that far !!!

i missed that. What is up wiht some people?! I could have a major rant about it all.

I wonder what happened, if he had a nice bike, or they tried to take his laptop bag? They may catch them, but if they do, what will they get?

Detectives believe that there was some kind of row which sparked the attack.

IMO it's quite believable the attack was arbitrary and unprovoked. Cycling along an otherwise deserted track in a cutting during daylight hours I passed 3 youths. Plenty of space didn't give them more than a glance but after I passed them rocks started landing round me. Strangely enough I just had a feeling about them as I passed and was able to quickly speed off beyond their reach. I'm sure they had the missiles ready to hand.

As it's a route I often use, I've been back frequently but no sign of the cowardly shites.
