Bloody Hell GWS

 

[Arjimlad]

What a horrid thing to happen. I hope you are feeling better soon & that the scrotes get their comeuppance. Thank goodness for the big chap standing up for you, and the kind lady who made sure you were OK.

 

[LCpl Boiled Egg]

That's shocking. Glad you're OK, and please report this to the Police if you haven't already. All the best.

Bloody hell, that's horrible.

GWS, and let us know what the police do about it. Do you think you would be able to identify them?
Good to know there are some nice people out there willing to help in situations like this.

 

[chewa]

Awful experience. That's why I try to avoid reacting in situations like that (but it's difficult).

Hope any injuries heal quickly. Don't let it get to you. Thankfully folk like that from the shallow end of the gene pool are not that common on bikes.

 

[Jimmy Doug]

Horrible. One of the few situations where I think a helmet cam would be useful - although as it was dark you'd probably get nothing. If only you could have this on film. It's possible the police know these characters and could have had 'em. Definitely, definitely report it! And I agree with what someone else has already said - try to find a different route home. You wouldn't want to run into these thugs again.

 

[glenn forger]

crankarm, they sound like nutters, you did EXACTLY the right thing. These idiots could have blades, I bet a million quid they're known to the police.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

Lowlife like this need putting away. They arnt 'cyclists' just pathetic scum. These are the sort that give real cyclists a bad name amoungst some drivers. Report the assault to the police for sure. Glad u r ok.

 

[HarryTheDog]

Really nasty and frightening,( well would be for me) usually the mental side of this kind of thing is harder to get over than the physical damage. I hope you can "brush this off" mentally.

 

[Turbo Rider]

Yikes. A truly gripping tale though. Heightens my desire to not engage with anyone while I ride. Hope you're feeling better this morning and well done for keeping your head & getting to a nice public place. Proper earned your stripes!

 

[buggi]

Bloody hell you must tell the cops. In with the others on this. Find a new route for a while, they could have had knives.

 

[Hip Priest]

Nasty incident. This is why I try not to lose my cool. If you insult people and swear at them, eventually you'll come across someone who'll want to fight. Stay safe.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Tell plod, please.
Heal fast, please.
Vary your route a bit for a while, please.

 

[vickster]

As others, call the police asap

GWS

Just a thought: doesn't the UK now have more CCTV cameras than just about anywhere else on the planet? Perhaps the event was caught on camera. A visit to the police could lead to an identification.
