Ha, too true. I was also wearing my most aggressive t-shirt with a load of different sharks on it, which failed to intimidate them in any way. So as an FYI, 5 sharks is not enough sharks to intimidate a gang of youths.
The weirdest part of the whole ordeal was when I was being given the guided tour of my neighbourhood by the undercover cops; the sheer amount of people on the streets, normal unassuming see-them-every-day people, and I mean this was about every third person, at just 11.30 on a Thursday night on a busy-ish road, was known to them. Cheery waves or one finger salutes passed back and forth. Crazy.
Guess I'm more lucky that it took this long for anything to actually happen and I got off so lightly in comparison. Mental. Hope the poor rider heals up fast.
