With the 'reason' externalised to some wider socio-economic issue. Personally would lock them up. </p> <p>Full disclosure: I'm a bit sore with PS at the moment due to their incredibly underwhelming response to a theft of about £5k of bikes from our communal bike store. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20215#post-330345 Thu, 21 May 2020 06:05:55 +0000 Trixie 330345@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think there must have been previous interaction which is why the car passenger was recording in the first place. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20215#post-330344 Wed, 20 May 2020 22:35:48 +0000 ARobComp 330344@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This sort of thing gets my vigilante juices flowing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20215#post-330302 Wed, 20 May 2020 12:58:50 +0000 gembo 330302@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>On the twitter the polis want the cyclist to come forward so they can lift the Toerags</p> <p>Did not see lights flashing on the bikes? Though did not spot they were e-bikes</p> <p>The classic move is when the wee guy goes through red to wait up ahead for the pincer then distracts the cyclist to the left whilst the bigger one trips him.</p> <p>Would be great to get the boys and channel their native cunning, say in the infantry or RUTS </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20215#post-330283 Wed, 20 May 2020 10:37:33 +0000 Morningsider 330283@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Notice they are both on e-hire bikes, which I assume (like MB) have been stolen. There is some serious weight in those and they have a real kick on take-off, so the victim was likely hit pretty hard. I assume the police will know who these guys are - hardly like you just decide to act like this all of a sudden. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20215#post-330278 Wed, 20 May 2020 09:39:47 +0000 Arellcat 330278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was there a motive, other than testosterone and upbringing? The victim was at the lights long before the other two arrived, so I wondered if there was previous. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20215#post-330269 Wed, 20 May 2020 08:01:27 +0000 I were right about that saddle 330269@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You can see something's up on the pavement right at the start. The wee boy pulls his hood down thinking it's over. Bigger lad thinks, wrongly, he can intimidate the victim on his own hence the pincer. </p> <p>My guess - the cops watch this, sigh and set off to collect both of them. For the fiftieth time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20215#post-330266 Wed, 20 May 2020 06:59:22 +0000 gembo 330266@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Classic pincer movement </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20215#post-330265 Wed, 20 May 2020 05:48:44 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 330265@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Chester Avenue, on stolen (one presumes) burger bikes</p> <p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/SWDMedia/status/1262639123841421313" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/SWDMedia/status/1262639123841421313</a> </p>
