Scooter scum.
They knock you off the bike and the pull out a machete, your life means nothing to them and they should be prosecuted for attempted murder.
It's disgusting. This type of thing is a daily occurrence in SA. It is so bad here in Cape Town, cycling slightly out of suburbia solo, you are putting your life in danger. Cyclists are often driven off the road by motorists, who don't even know they knocked into you and will drag you along for miles. We have a major event during the early part of each year, and the amount of cycling deaths when riders are out training around this time , is ridiculous. Cyclists are not save and I think why gravel biking is so popular. Thanks for a great show. Annelise
My purple carbon Cannondale was just stolen 2 months ago. It was a $3,700 used bike that I used for exercise and to get around. I have to save for months, sometimes for years for a nice bike. I'm tired of the homeless of L.A. stealing for their drug habits! The LAPD are worthless! One detective to look for hundreds of stolen bikes! My local bike shop has told me to put an Airtag or two hidden DOWN inside. They're going to help me do the setup. I would suggest this for the young man you interviewed. That way even if they strip the bike down, most are too stupid to look inside the tubes. You increase your chances of finding it. Los Angeles is a bike black hole. W/o some GPS locator or Airtag on it, you'll never see it again.
Gotta love Alex, totally calculated person who has done very well in all aspects of his life.
That moustache is more frightening than any machete
If they're local lock them up for 10 years no parole…if they're illegals or have any nationality of another country then imprison then deport. Australia is now deporting any person that has dual citizenship of another country or eligibility to dual citizenship. Brits have been deported recently after prison release. Highway robbery is what this is an in times gone by it was a trip to the hangman.
I ride with a telescopic baton strapped to my top tube. It's illegal in London, but I'm not gonna be a victim if i can help it.
Re. The Plod.
They're 💩
London who would go there.full of scum
Crazy story. So sorry to hear this happening to what seems a nice guy. What is this world coming to…
My bike is over 6 years old, but when new retailed for a bit over $15k, US. (My employee discount was substantial.) I was concerned about being robbed while on solo rides, and while the bike is no longer worth that amount I'm still observant when out alone.
I love cycling but I feel very helpless one my bike with the clipless pedals and Lycra shorts.
roadman looks terrified.
Welcome to Britain !
One could be forgiven for thinking that our society is going down the pan..what used to be considered ‘Christian’Values and Ethics rubbished and ridiculed by a growing Woke’ism. Evil and Subversion celebrated,whilst Moral’s and Truth eradicated! Don’t know what to say. Have been passionate about cycling for decades. Cyclists are vulnerable and easy victims. Violent Criminals are protected by ‘human rights’ ,whilst one can be arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic.FFS!!!
Let me guess, they weren't brittisih.
The consequences of losing traditional western family values and the insistent open border's enjoy all you'll get is more of this.
It’s a shame you guys can’t carry firearms over there. I never ride without mine.
Name the skin color or shut up taking
I live very close to Richmond Park where this took place and am in a local cycle club. I train in the park several times per week where Alex was robbed. The whole community was horrified and we started trying to go out in pairs or small groups. These scumbags are horrendous and they are only teenagers.
Is there a good description of the thieves? It will help people keep aware of their surroundings.
That's Terrible 🤬. Tucson Arizona Has it's share of Bike Theft! Low Life Bullies! Ride in groups! 🤔👍
I cannot understand how anyone wants to live in that shithole London
I'm really sorry for what happened to you mate. But these thieves know exactly what they are looking for.
In America they would’ve been shot, which exactly why these types of things happen in places like England
His own fault for riding alone on an expensive bike not thinking he’d get jacked very naive
