One of my Dads cousins who is 76 was pushed off his bike while out on a training ride (Orpington) a few months back, by two nice young lads on a moped. Not as sinister as smacking someone over the head with a spare helmet and respect for (a) taking it and (b) staying up. The old mans cousin was lucky and landed on some grass and was just shaken up. I think its an increasing problem and I remember there being a piece in Cycling Weekly a while back.
If I hear a moped while riding home late I keep checking back to see whats occuring.
