Tottenham N15

Here is a warning for anyone cycling from Crouch End through to Tottenham High Street. Gangs of teenage kids are targeting cyclists, throwing and kicking things at them, and generally trying to knock them off their bikes. I was hit today and crashed at 20 mph after a ball got stuck between the wheels, buggering my hip and damaging my new bike (fixed gear) whilst heading along West Green Road to Tottenham Hale - a regular Sunday morning route. All reported to the police who say am I am definitely not the first.....

Otherwise, happy cycling!

Hi Michael

Did not see you on todays Sunday ride, is everything ok after your incident.

HI Jonothan - fell heavily on my right side, so lots of bruising, cuts and knocked middle-aged bones. Should be all right for next Sunday. Spent much of Friday morning looking at mug shots with the local police, and expecting a "good result" shortly, especially as a reliable witness also involved. Otherwise, just seething with anger....
