"when a young man stepped out in front of me and appeared to be commanding me to stop. (Which I was forced to do, with all the rush hour traffic behind as well) Then a group of around 8-10( I guess), all of school age, stepped out on the road, and it was clear that they were dominating the road and crossing wherever they wanted, however they wanted"


If he had not have stopped or could not have stopped he would have been at fault. The man stepping out had no regard for anyone's safety and is at fault.

I wish there was a place all this informationcould be found on our forum for everyone.

It is important which is why it's been there since the forum started and even has "Top 10 tips for a safer neighbourhood and safer homes" as suppied by the local police.

To be fair, it only has ED safer neighbourhood team info but quite a bit of East Dulwich is actually in the Peckham Rye safer neighbour team area as shown on the maps which are in my links above.

And therefore they have different email addys and phone numbers. Mark/Admin, please could both safer neighbourhood teams' details go in the information? (Even if no-one knows to find it!)

The buses don't stop - saw someone clipped from behind by a 78 when (jay)walking down Rye lane on Friday.



He seemed OK though

    • A pretty awful incident.  Thankfully from my time in London fairly rare.  There was a time, particularly in North London in the 00s when moped gangs would come up behind cyclists and grab their bags.  There were also scare stories about riders being pushed off at the top of the hill and the bike grabbed, or cyclists being pushed into a canal such as the Grand Union.  I think these were very exaggerated. In recent times, cyclists, in particularly women, have been mugged, on cycle routes when other riders are not around, such as Deptford/Millwall  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm27x5klxxlo But I expect that crimes involving threats/violence by criminals against cyclists are less likely than in other areas of life.  Mobile phone theft being one of the obvious examples.  I was told many years ago following a burglary that criminals would rather not have any contact with their victims, and bike theft would sound to be less risky to them by stealing locked up bikes (far too common) rather than attacking the rider.  The spate of thefts from builders vans in broad daylight knocks this a little on the head, as the criminals are often confronted. @Rockets as a regular cyclist in the past did you experience threats etc?  My worse experiences were being knocked off by dangerous drivers, once being left for dead in a hit and run, and road rage where drivers chased me or threatened me after they had passed to close, turned across me etc.  You learn from this and do your best to avoid such conflict.  
    • Whilst I am not sure if this is appropriate to this case, I know that often people from minority groups don't feel safe with the police and there have been many incidents where people from minority groups have been mistreated, beaten etc, just for being.   
    • It certainly was😁 Bob S
