Husband's fine, other than a very swollen face and a shut eye.
I'm writing this to remind everyone that all of us commuters must be on guard at all times. It's not only the cagers that we need to watch out for.
sorry to hear this story.
it can be really disturbing to be mugged. especially when the pathetic creeps run off like that- no place to put your rage
. I hope your husband recovers well. Violence SUCKS!
my ride was, fortunately, uneventful. a lovely roundtrip on the bike path. it rained after I left home this morning and before I left work tonight but not during my rides.
