Guess which kind of neighborhoods you have to ride by to get to the George Washington Bridge from midtown Manhattan.
Moron’s.
Who goes above 101st?
Not unexpected, not surprised...
Race of attackers not mentioned. Why???
‘164th Street in Washington Heights’ My home address as a child. I don’t go by the name ‘heights’ for nothing. I now live in California.
Guess it must suck to be all law abiding and you can’t carry a gun to protect yourself from criminals. Might want to start asking yourself, just who are the politicians really protecting?
Many bicyclists I have observed have a “nothing can hurt me” attitude, so.....
Kids don’t play cowboys and Indians anymore.
Now it’s Morlocks and Elois.
Hey, NYPD! Can you tell us what the thugs look like so we can watch out for them, or should we let it be a surprise?
When did "black" become vague?
Welcome to Ybama’s “post racial” America.
Holder’s people are feeling invincible since they have their own in charge now.
Perhaps now the mayor will finally announce a get-tough policy with regards to rope. Limiting rope purchases to a maximum of two feet at a time would be a good start.
Please note. I am and have been for over 30 years a bicycle commuter.
Most bicyclist deserve this. They have allied themselves with the hard left in many cases. The left is all about feeling ,morally superior and rather than take the position that automobiles are not going away they majority of bicycle groups have a very anti-car agenda disguised as a pro-environmental issue. They have in many cases alienated the people they should be working with (Drivers)because of a common interest (Each being able to reach their destination) have refused to publicly denounce dangerous practices should as riding fixed gear track bikes that have no brakes on city streets.
Leftist never believe that bad things will happen to them.
Maybe having to ride in fear of thugs ambushing them on trails will make them wake up.
They use trails that they do not really pay for unlike motorist that pay road taxes when they purchase gasoline and then complain about the lack of upkeep and saftey on the trails.
There is a rather easy way to solve this or at least mitigate the problem. Bicycle commuters, including me if i live in that area should have to pay a licensing fee and trail /road/ bike lane tax. They should be regulated like a driver. The infrastructure for this already exist in the state DMV’s. The funds generated would go towards better trail/lane/route and having police patrols in those areas.
This would also integrate the bicycles into the traffic flow better and help to discourage the few (10% - 15%) cyclist that that give the rest a bad name.
Thugs just doing what drivers wish they could do..........LOL!
The only solution is to start shooting them.
“What’s even more troubling is that people Champion caught up with say they rarely see police in the area.”
You left wingers best start realizing that liberal cops in big cities have two major objectives:
1. Get home safe at night.
2. Live to collect their pensions.
They will not risk those primary goals to protect citizens. You’re nothing more than cows who are being milked via taxation to provide comfortable retirements for liberal cops who won’t protect you. If you want protection, elect a conservative mayor who will appoint a conservative police chief who’s not afraid to kick criminal butt and hire police to carry out the task. Until then, take your beatings and act as our canaries in the coal mine, you 70 IQ liberals.
Hmm. Gangs vs. Manhattan cyclists (who are generally the most rude and reckless group in NYC and think they own the streets and the sidewalks
).
No good guys in this fight. I’ll take a page from Sarah Palin, on Syria, and let allah sort it out.
“Presently, officers only have a vague description of the men, who are described as being in their 20s.”
Cowardly, BS report!
NYC is a GUN FREE ZONE is it not? The mobs have NOTHING to fear.
But think of all those carbon credits they got before they were mugged. That should give them a warm feeling of superiority.
Pray for America to Wake Up
