Cyclist attacked

Yeah I was going to post that - Dalston - reminded me quite a bit of this.

and just yesterday I read this account of a cyclist's encounter with vicious thugs in east London - I've an enormous amount of respect for the fact that the writer was back on his bike (albeit still bandaged up) within two weeks of the attack...

"One attacker became, shall we say, rather overzealous with the robbery, and began hitting me directly in the face with what I later realised was my own D-lock, as heavy and as damaging as a hammer. Insult added to injury indeed."
