Gang took my bike last night!

I dont want come over like barry mcguigan here but I have lived in the roughest bits of south london throughout my formative years. I know how it goes,all too well. Equally I know what is media hype and scare mongering. Post code wars and all this other Daily Fail spiel is so tired. All im saying is people need to stand up for themselves and what is right. Or the scum wins.

Tip of the iceberg man.

the segmentation of ethnics by the cops is the most interesting point on this thread

scared,where are the roughest bits of souwf london,ill stay away from them.i live in deepest south london.

if you don't know, you is meat. innit.

scared, round here we loads of feral lil cunts whoose staffycrosses and mastiffs will eat whats left of you,so theres no need for hospital

Yeah, and round here they will laugh at your shoes.

bluequinn stop wearing funny shoes then

I should never have gone clipless

can anyone enlighten me on what the "screwface effect" is,because their dogs pull some strange faces,when their trying to eat my jack russell

well done scared. good on you.

should this be passed onto the cycle task force? could they set up a sting or summert? get scoble to photograph it?

no but in all seriousness, my girl commutes from loughton to stratford and it's a bit worrying... a group of lads already tried to take her dads bike around these parts, he hung onto it and told them to fuck off. one pulled a knife on him but somehow he got away, with his bike.

its proper cowardly, makes me sick and disgusted.

What kind of pathetic excuse for a man gets his kicks from knocking women off their bikes and taking them? (men too..)

I was thinking about it this morning on the ride home, and I do think that if I saw some guys trying to wrestle a bike from someone in the street I would get involved.

Fuck em. Being intimidated and acting scared only encourages these worthless shits to continue what they're doing.

Jeeeees...

I cycle this everyday and I think the same IC3 lads (yes I had to google it) tried the same thing with me.
I was absolutely flying and a lad stepped off the kurb away from his mates into my path with thievery and intent in his eyes. So I put some extra down through the peddles and held my line. He must've bottled it (obviously on account of my awesome power) and stepped back to the kurb.

I hope this isn't a trend emerging.

No offence, but, do not do this.

Single kick to the rear wheel as you are passing and youll be flying off your bike face first into the curb/barrier. Simply ride around them, signal a turn to car behind you and go into adjacent lane etc.

Move to Mayfair.

Move to Leeds.

Our "gangstas" aren't clever enough for this game...

or they're too busy selling £5s of solid to schoolkids down the skatepark.

Move to Mayfair.

Doesn't work(*). I've been doored twice by the nonchalent dopey Mayfair crowd.

• Haven't actually tried living there - by all means bring me the means :)
  

I stay there when I am up from the country house.

These "people" make me furious. Best thing to do is know in advance what you'd do if you get into a situation like this. I tend to avoid groups of scum, turn around and take another road if I see them congregating late at night.

You'd have a job doing that on the way to Stratford. There aren't any other roads.

Be careful what you say .Do you have any facts to back up such a bold statement .Do you know any young people or work them.There are many type of muggers .The guy who was mugged just so happened to be travelling in Newham ,which is really mixed .If he was in Romford there race wouldn't be an issue.really ,that sounds like racial profiling to me ,so would you say all joy riders are IC1.[

Weird racial profiling crap aside I am going to the Newham Cyclists meeting next week because I am a geek so I will bring it up then if it doesn't come up anyway. Maybe me and the Newham Cyclists can come up with some kind of LFGSS style intervention and invite the gangs to meet us to sell them some bikes and then push them in the canal or something.

IC1-IC1001,it dont matter what racial profile you describe muggers as,their all lil shitcunts.And fuck knowing them or working with them,id rather help their victims.all this there there,theres a good boy please dont do it again works wonders

i also ride this route, often late at night!
Its shit enough that its a virtual motorway FFS.

Being alive > material posessions
