Awful to witness it. Hope Ms Bear's OK and the fear about the victim's arm doesn't come true. So callous if they caused her that.
From the timing of your post, it seems this happened just after rush hour? Most muggings of cyclists that I've heard of were later in the day, usually in the evening, when commuter flows are less concentrated along the minor routes. Previous hotspots include De Beauvoir (about which we have a thread) and the bridge in Kingsbury Road. In the evening, perpetrators don't have to wait for very long to find a 'suitable' victim. I wonder if these ones wait for the 'Quietway' to be emptier and then strike.
Generally, the advice has always been that after hours you're safer on the main streets than in the back streets. I hope that doesn't have to be extended to certain daytime hours.
Here's hoping they catch them soon.

And it just happened. Here. My GF was there. and saw it.
Woman got knocked off her bike and had it stolen by two kids on a moped. Mrs Bear thinks she might have a broken arm. Said it was brutal how violent they were.
