I was attacked on my bike at 2am a few weeks ago on De Beauvoir Rd and Northchurch Rd. A guy sprints out of the shadows from the other side wearing a balaclava, pushes me into a high curb, I fly headfirst into a wall and him and another balaclava'd accomplice kick the shit out of me as I'm on the floor. They threaten to stab me, steal my bag and my bike (old Peugeot steel frame custom build - not worth much). End up in A&E with fractured toe and lots of skin missing from multiple limbs. Police told me there's been over 15 similar attacks on this stretch of road in 2 months. Guess I don't need to spell out that's it's a good idea to avoid this route home at night.
