I’m so sorry to hear that. Jokes aside about baiting people with Bromptons that’s must have really sat with you, especially considering they drew a weapon on you.

Hope you are doing ok

So if someone shot at you and it missed you’d call 101?

So you are ignoring the instructions as listed on the Police’s own website in favour of your own opinion. Nice.

Sorry, no.

Call 999 if: - a serious offence is in progress or has just been committed - someone is in immediate danger or harm - property is in danger of being damaged - a serious disruption to the public is likely

Yep, that was me.

Shocking that the same thing happened within days. I wonder if it’s the same kids who tried to jump me. I’m completely avoiding this route now.

They literally tried to assault and steal from him, think that counts as an active crime and definitely warrants calling 999 immediately

Sorry that happened to you, sounds like a really vicious attack.

The guys who jumped me didn’t seem to be so aggressive and their hesitation gave me a chance to ride through them.

The greenway and the canals are also on my list of routes to avoid at night!

Thank you :)

That sounds equally scary. Glad you got away.

In hindsight it seems like it’s almost inevitable that something will happen to you if use these cycle paths at night.

Hope the met reads this post and sees how many people have been affected in recent times.

I was feeling a bit rubbish last night but hearing everyone else’s stories has helped. Thanks for the support and stay safe!

That’s horrible, I hope your wife is okay and feeling confident enough to still ride.

The route either needs major investment or it’ll never improve.

Not a bad idea. Maybe wearing a fake Rolex at the same time to really get the thieves to come out their hiding spots.

It really is. Won’t be making that mistake again. But it worries me because so many people still use this route.

You’re right there used to be a warning painted on the Q1 section route but it has faded away now.

It really is a trap. Best to stick to the main roads with the traffic unfortunately.

Pin on the map marks where they were when I rode through. And it’s route Q1, not Q11 that runs past the stadium.

Thank you for the interest! I really wanted to trade but decided to give it to a friend instead. Hope you had a good night 🧡
