It was around 4-5pm? Broad daylight... people walking on the other side of the road seemingly unaware of what was happening.
A young male came up to me on a bike as I was waking along with a friend. He asked where I was from. Iβm from Yorkshire and had a feeling that wasnβt the answer heβd be looking for. His next statement was βGive me your pedalsβ.
He was around 15-16 so was a bit bewildered. Iβm a grown man with a pretty athletic build so was impressed by his brazenness and intrigued as to how he planned to carry out this operation.
He repeated βgive me your pedalsβ. This time he lifted his t-shirt revealing the top of his knife which he then took into his free hand.
I then looked over my shoulder to see his associates. 3-4 more kids with the oldest looking 18-19.
At this point, after some quick maths, I realised internal organs were probably worth more than my bike and handed it over to the older male who casually walked away with it. Donβt mess with kids with nothing to lose.
Very late in the day, but at the time didn't even think to check in on here.
Around a year ago, probably around august last year I was mugged for my Dolan outside the Stronghold climbing gym in Tottenham Hale- does anyone remember seeing it? I'm not expecting to get it back, would just be nice to get some closure on it. I got a Planet X roadie to replace it which was subsequently stolen last month. Didn't get a picture of that one though...
