cycle hazard - Hanley Road
Hi - this is a warning to all Stroud Greeners who cycle along Hanley Road of an evening. Last night at about 7.30 I was heading home from central London to Harringay and I was attacked by a gang of kids who ran in to the road en masse, forced me to slow down and then started yelling and throwing punches. The little sh*ts tried to pull me off my bike, and may well have succeeded had it not been for a kindly motorist who came up behind and scared them off. I later called the police, who said they would go up there, but this is the second time I've had trouble on Hanley Rd - a couple of years ago someone chucked a half-full drinks can at me - I got a nasty cut on the forehead. Has anyone else witnessed this type of thing there?

The only problem we've had is someone throwing a half eaten parsnip at us pretty hard, probably from a car on Upper Tollington Park the other night. We were utterly bemused, so stopped and looked around, and someone in a car came back and waved at us???
Like the Neighbourhood watch newsletter says: keep em peeled!
Raw, and half eaten.
Though I'm not sure what eats raw parsnips
Being inspired by Roasted Parsnip discussions I tried to buy some there last Sunday morning and they don’t have them
Someone threw a grape at me today as I cycled home along Westbourne rd (N1) today. At least it's a seasonal item though.
