Neither of them had helmets so I think it was probably hot. Also they looked too young to be legal. I'm liking the neck height wire method. Don't they do that to someone in one of the Mad max films? I wonder how long I'm going to get edgy when I hear mopeds behind me for. That's the part that fucks me off the most: I'm now suspicious but that's not in my nature generally. Anyway thanks for the comments and watch yourselves out there people.

Alas, I fear this will become common place once the bell-ends/plebs realise they now have right to use bus/cycle lanes. I hope not.

I was watching one of those 'Cops' reality shows. The police car was chasing two 'yoofs' on a nicked moped, neither had helmets, almost identical to the little shits you desribe.
They chased them for two minutes, and then backed down coz the kids were driving like nutters and the police didnt want to see then hurt.
Fuck that, run them over and then reverse back to finish the job!
Seriously tho, Ithink someone had a similar experience on here last year.

A year ago Matthew Paris advocated using piano wire to decapitate cyclists. Let's not lower ourselves to his standards. Indeed his suggestion may well have led to a considerable increase in the assaults on cyclists.
Although stolen, reporting the number plate to the police could help them track a stolen moped or, and most importantly, would provide evidence of a further assault should the criminals be apprehended for another offence and thus allow them to be dealt with more harshly.

Just hazarding a guess but I would imagine that there is a good chance they were below the age of criminal responsibility- so reporting them would be good for statistics but not much else.
Not to say that you should not report them- it is the thing to do in this situation.
Just slightly depressed about the yoof of today.
I'll go back to my Daily Mail now.

Really your best option here is to smeer the back of your head with glue and attach a pint of roofing nails.

This is the worst thing about the 'justice' system today. Below the age of criminal responsibility . . . bollox!
If they are old enough to steal & ride a moped whilst assaulting people on it, then they are old enough to be tried and convicted in a court of law.
This, slap on the wrist, dont do it again bollox does not work!
It's all lack of parenting, the system letting them down yadda yadda, but the truth is,
they know they can't be punished and therefore do it time and time again.Without trying to sound like an old man, in the past, if you did something wrong you were punished. End of story. We brits are such a push over when it comes to this sort of thing.
And whatever FUCKWIT came up with the term ;HappySlapping' needs to be shot!
There's nothing Happy about it!! -

Exactly, Clive. Well said.
Faux repped -
i got done about two years ago riding south on violet road e3.
the culprit was in a car. and it was raining and dark. but i managed to stay upright.
about 10 years ago riding north through chorley in lancashire someone threw a half brick from a mini which hit me on the leg.
yeah it can be a bit bumpy out there.
you should report it to the police and write to your mp.
good luck.

Whats wrong with someone who dresses as they wish riding a nice bike?
Nothing at all. But don't kid yourself that it doesn't come without consequences.A £4k road bike and lycra will not look out of place in Richmond Park but don't think it won't raise eyebrows in Dalston. When I lived in a scummy area of MCR as a student, it was prudent to blend in with the locals rather than stick out like a sore thumb.
A lot of Nathan Barleys running around East London on their fixie fixies, ironic 'taches and wayfarers are at best insensitive to the social dynamic. This is after all Brick Lane, my friend and a lot of weatlh rubs up agains a lot of poverty.
OP I'm not suggesting you got slapped for looking like a fashion victim in the wrong part of town.
Donut!

Happy slapped by toerags on a moped

On Wednesday I was going round the roundabout at the New North Road end of Hoxton Street when I heard a moped coming up behind me. I moved left to give them more room to pass.Well you can probably guess the rest but I got cuffed hard round the back of the head when I was probably doing 20 mph around the bend. The two little fuckers even slowed down to laugh knowing there was no way I was going to catch them up. I said something lame like "I'll remember your face you little blah blah...." , then took a moment to swallow my rage and off I went again. Seriously though had it been wet on the road or had they picked on someone not too handy on a bike it could have been nasty. Has anyone else fallen victim to this latest feral child craze or am I the only one? That night I had to suppress " if only I'd had a gun" fantasies but I'm all better now........
