Pushed off!

[Yellow Fang]

I was pushed off my bike into the road by three lads, cycling back home. I would have hurt myself if I hadn't been wearing my gloves. I chased after them and caught one, but then didn't know what to do with him. I asked him his name and made him apologise, but then let him go. I got his friend to apologise too. A passing jogger picked up my bike. I can't believe people would push someone into a road with traffic on it.

Sorry to ask but was you on the pavement ?

Now you know what your D-Lock is for; Securing said reprebate by the neck to the nearest lamp post.

D lock....to the nuts !

This is clearly an assault. Having caught him I would have made a citizens arrest, got my mobile out and called the police.

I dont think YF does that, Reading has a lot of shared routes iirc. (edited, because I cant read)

 

[fossyant]

Probably on a shared use or cycle path next to a road - wait for the OP to respond......

Just the same as being shoved whilst on the road out into traffic.

No, I was on the road.

you should have punched his f&kin lights out! he'd think twice next time.

and yes, you should have called the police. It's not just assault, to push you into traffic i would think would be a very serious offence.

The legal system doesn't seem to think that even mowing people down, killing them, and driving off is a particularly serious offence!

+ 1. There seems to be more and more of this kind of shoot happening.

Fair enough, was just the way I read it.

 

[yello]

What sort of age were they?

I ask because kids do stupid stuff sometimes. I'm sure you did in your time. Sounds like you made enough of an impression in doing what you did, cathcing them and making them apologise. I'd let it go at that.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of some, there's no need to call police over kids being tw*ts.

Late teens I would guess.
