Happy slapped by toerags on a moped

I've worked in the "grim" end of Hoxton for nearly 15 years without a single incident. I'm not a "Nathan Barley" on a hipster wagon but even if I were, I don't think that merits being deliberately fucked over by a pair of 16 or 17 year old ragamuffin scrotes. I'm not about to buy a hoodie, get cornrows and wear my jeans falling off my arsecheeks so I can blend in with two cowardly scumbags. For the record there are plenty of decent people in this area who have fuck all money. It comes down to common sense and respect for other people on this planet.

In an ideal world yes it should. but Jim has a point, there is a chance that car drove past a good few cyclists before slapping the OP and probably a good few after. it wasn't completely random.
I have had more stick in lycra than in my jeans, the skinny jean hipster sorts do stand out. the very reason they get dressed up and spend the money on load and highly noticable bikes ... is to stand out from the crown.. to make a statement. changes are they will standout to people who want to compliment them as much as people who want to slap them.
