Wounds heal and you still have your bike so you're better than my account where it only took 2 guys though they hit me hard and fast, didn't miss. Plus my backpack was full of groceries so call me the Turtle as they pushed me over.<br></br>
<br></br>
We could always coordinate a route/group ride home as a ride home because a group is safer.<br />
<br />
Plus criminals are usually watching you, what time you leave, come home... though mine was seemingly random, try going a block or so over and if you can adjust you…

I'm out in Oak Park, during daylight I pretty much have no trouble just going up Lake street but when it gets dark early I go Milwaukee -> Armitage -> South on Austin. It's a pretty nice route, never seen even a suggestion of trouble at any hour.

Hey, I should note in closing my appreciation for the kind words and good advice in this thread. My primary message was that the intersection Damen and Adams seems to host practiced goons and that it's worth avoiding, but I got lost in the warm fuzzies.<br />
<br />
Thanks again. Onward and upward...

Now I really want to build one of these... It really is better to turn around and run when seeing thugs hanging out, but it would be nice to just mow them all down.<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/35234885?profile=original" alt=""/></p>

WOW ! Well written...I have a suggestion to most folks....don't use a front flasher.. just be safer considering cars in front of you...The front flasher just alerts thugs that you are coming..and as your article speaks clearly........"they" are out there.... Thanks for posting...
