I don’t like not to spread negative vibes but this happened to me this evening and needed to share and needs people’s attention.
I wanted to get fitter this year and decided to ride the long way home - when I got to the excel centre there was a scooter with two mask people riding in the opposite direction. However once they noticed I was on a Brompton and I was on my own they attacked me…
They stole my GoPro which was on top on my helmet (this was a deterrent to stop this stuff from happen and to protect myself road users - did Jack shit tonight) I guess if they want something they will go to no end to get what they want.
Luckily a car and van came to my help and they rode off before anything worst might have happened this evening.
In hinge sight I should have taken the DLR home but I decided it was a good idea to ride home slowly. But on the way back to UEL I saw them again riding on the pedestrian pathway. Luckily they didn’t see me but at this moment in time I am still in a state of shock.
Please be careful out there people on or off the bike. There are some people out there who doesn’t care if you live or die as long they get what they want in their life.
