Warning if Riding in Bristol area

Armed gang chase cyclist at Bristol beauty spot

Be careful if riding, especially alone, near Leigh Woods and Ashton Court In Bristol. This emtb’r was on the nearby Avon trail and did well to get away. I ride there a lot so quite worrying.

Yeah, I see the occasional report in the local media of people being mugged for their bikes on the Bristol/Bath cycle path too (I live the Bath end).

It is worrying, but relatively infrequent and when you consider the number of people on the Bath or Pill paths... well... you're more likely to get hit by a car on your way there!

Be aware of your surroundings, and have enough juice left to hit turbo mode to sprint away.
