Ch’i
I would’ve run if it were possible but they were both on top of me as soon as the guy knocked me off my bike. Yes, they really did catch me off guard. People are always walking back there without intent to do harm, but obviously this time was an exception.
I just wish I was cycling a heck of a lot faster. Perhaps they wouldn’t have been able to run up to me like they did. Don’t worry about getting even. Perhaps karma thought it was time to get back to me.
Will, this was behind the Del Norte plaza. Nearby El Cerrito Honda, in the parking lots behind Uncle Wong’s Chinese food, and the Strings Italian restaurant. They also have a coffee shop.
Raeanna, the police officers who came and filed the report too pictures. I’ll leave it up to them. They were so quick I was unable to identify them so honestly it wouldn’t do much good.
Jorgelito, it was broad daylight. I’d been working since 4:15 AM and I was riding my bike home. It was about 11:15-ish. I’ve never considered it a bad neighborhood. It was unavoidable going up the middle. One guy was at one end of the lot, and the other guy was at the opposite end. It isn’t a huge lot. Maybe 50 feet across.
A mugging? Well they made off with my sidekick 3, my wallet, and my really nice box cutter. Dd they intend to do that? I don’t know. Yeah, I canceled whatever cards I had (bank, gym membership, CostCo card, etc) and my phone.
Thanks for the kind words fellas! I hope it never happens to you.
