not good..that's my route home :( I wonder what times this usually occurs? hopefully later than I'm riding through...doesnt sit too well :(

That is why I no longer live in Philly and especially in Queen's Village. It has become a dangerous and dangerously polorized place and I do not feel safe there. Sad to say after having gone to college at 33rd and Walnut and living there for almost 20 years. The present mayor can take a great deal of the blame for same. But I don't think he will. It is so bad now that I won't even drive into the city unless I have to. And I am definitely not alone in my feelings.

gun, frag grenade, sawed-off baseball bat, sock full of penny rolls, gas and a match...the things I would carry

haha...and all of that stuff would in turn be used back against me if there were 15 people! haha.. I'm not too scared..I rarely stop at red lights and I can outrun them ;)

Lol, what if they're also on bikes?

cycling in boxing gloves? i'd love to see it...

No problem, if they're runnin' brakeless...
