Third cyclist assaulted

http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3911704.html

Didn't know this was going on. I figured when I saw bunches of youngsters laying and loitering on the bikeway that they were looking for trouble. I get to ride through the area twice a day once while day care is still in and late at night when there is a curfew. Some people need some parentla guidance. Too bad there aren't many parents left.

I like the police asking us to "ride in pairs, carry a cell phone, and avoid loitering adolescents." The other bit that is interesting is there are complaints that there are too many people on the path, WTF. Are we heading to toll gating and limiting?

I think I need to fing a new place to live.
