About 100 metres later about 10 more in a group blocking the path, although they did slightly part to allow me through. Felt quite intimidated though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14140#post-176352 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 10:24:28 +0000 I were right about that saddle 176352@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They're making the 'moped' bit up. They'll have been on scooters.</p> <p>"white, 16-years-old, skinny build, 5ft 2in to 5ft 5in, long black hair, pale complexion"</p> <p>Hardly a youth to be seen round our way with long hair. I expect the constabulary will know exactly who this is. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14140#post-176347 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 22:53:13 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 176347@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm confused, who would be making that up, and why? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14140#post-176346 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 22:00:16 +0000 Nelly 176346@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fair enough, but story says 6 males on 4 mopeds.....like its a mini Rome here </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14140#post-176345 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 21:33:43 +0000 recombodna 176345@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh I've seen them! Up and down leith walk and Easter road 3 hoodies on an obviously stolen moped/scooter.<br /> I reported a stolen crashed moped that was abandoned in polwarth last week. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14140#post-176342 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 20:56:42 +0000 Nelly 176342@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A group of males on mopeds.</p> <p>Shouldn't be difficult to find, given I have never seen one moped in Edinburgh, never mind a moped "gang".</p> <p>Or am I being a smidgen cynical about the truthfulness of this story? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14140#post-176341 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 19:47:40 +0000 chdot 176341@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>The gang chased him down until he fell off his bike, assaulted him and took his pedal cycle and a bag.</p> <p>The victim was assisted by a female passerby after the assailants fled and police are now appealing for her to come forward.</p> <p>The bike is a blue Cove make mountain bike style and “Stiffie” model, with yellow forks, orange pedals and green bars.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/moped-gang-chased-and-assaulted-edinburgh-cyclist-1-3640500" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/moped-gang-chased-and-assaulted-edinburgh-cyclist-1-3640500</a> </p>
