Youts on scooters

I was chatting on Saturday night with a friend who told me a gnarly story...

Her and a friend were riding along one of the roads parallel to the canal between Kingsland Rd and Broadway Market one night a week ago. They passed some kids on scooters and carried on riding. The kids chased after them and took their back wheels out with the font wheel of there scooters. They both crashed, the kids U turned and stole one of their bikes(over the shoulder job) and made off leaving one of the girls bikes, after having nocked her off as well.

Not cool and one to be aware of...

dude, i saw EXACTLY this happen about a year ago between goswell road and st john street in clerkenwell. i was riding up st john street and i heard the scooters and this guy shouting "help! help! what do you want?!" etc - he came barelling out of a side street on his little folding brompton or whatever being chased by 4 kids on a pair of scooters, he stacked it trying to take the corner too fast, they scooped up the bike, threw it over a shoulder and were off. the poor bloke was fukken terrified. i got the number of one of the scooters and gave a statement to the police but turns out it was a false plate. proper put the willies up me i can tell you.
