Hello Forum people:

Sad news, I was waiting just round the corner from st marys church near stoke newington when a dodgy as fuck ginger Irish man confronted me whilst I was waiting for the lad who was going to buy my bike.

After him asking if my bike was for sale and if he could take it for a spin he decided to quite rudely say; 'give me the bike or I'm going to punch your fucking face in'

It was at this point that the £150 Raleigh compared to my health/iphone/wallet/keys that he might have decided to take from me I swiftly made an exit to call 999.

Whilst on the phone a kid (who'd just had his bag robbed off him by the same bloke) came up to me and we both ended up in cop cars doing laps of Stokey.

If anyone see's the bike (picture above), please feel free to call 999.

James.

Damn. I am sorry to hear this. How are you feeling? You injured? I'll be sure to look out.

omg. that is just nuts. do people really still go around doing that? so sorry to hear this happened to you. i promise you, if i see a "dodgy as fuck ginger irish man" riding around on this, i'll knock him into next week. (and not just because i like the bike)

I'm fine, just a bit shocked.

Wrong place at the wrong time I guess.

In fairness the fight or flight came down to:

The raleigh pursuit or my physical condition, phone etc etc. (which considering his odour of alcohol he probably would have gone for)

I went for the quick dash whilst ringing 999. I hope they catch the fucker.

I hope so too. Remember you're likely to be in shock for a while so take good care of yourself.

That's a fucking pisstake. Without wanting to sound predjudiced, it was probably a traveller.

sadly, he's probably already pawned the bike off for a 6 pack of super tennants. stuff like this brings out the vigilante in me

Successful at sounding prejudiced.

Two six packs, as you can then send off for a free Staff Terrier with 12 ring pulls. Read up folks.

Is there such a things as Staff Terrier. I don't know much about dogs...or bikes. Anyway, Jimmeh take care.

Yes I did not intend to be prejudiced toward the:

Gingers, the Irish, alcoholics or fuckers

This was just a spur of the moment rant. I apologise :) Thank fuck I wasn't selling my Mercian tonight!

sorry to hear my mna, I hope karma sorts out that farkin kahnt

Successful at sounding prejudiced.

Awesome.

@OP: Best of luck getting the bike back, no worse feeling than being more or less mugged. Giving up the bike was the best idea, the guy could have pulled a shank or anything. You never know with these travellers.

nothing to apologise about. you described it as you saw it.
