Now for the serious stuff and I may need your advice. I was basically assaulted today on the Hayne Blvd. Bike Path on top of the levee between the old Lincoln Beach and the flyover that leads to Lakefront Airport by three youths. Yes they were Black. It wasn't too bad, they saw me coming and turned around to be in front of me then would not let me pass by swerving in front of me. Then chain came off I think because of a worn Biopace. When I got back going they had blocked the path with their bikes and I had to dismount and walk around. On the way back they played chicken with me and hit me in the back as I went past. Then one caught up with me and slapped me behind the head. I just kept riding and the darn chain came off again The three of them basically cornered me but did not advance when they saw I was serious. Escalate?
