I could have sworn it was Dr. Strange or Alan Turing that saved the cyclist. So confused.

Do you need a Synopsis of the entire one page story or do you need a Synopsis of each paragraph to save you sufficient time?

I'd say that the title of the post was a sufficiently effective synopsis for most readers

How defenseless can a guy who pedals for a living be? Learn to kick, people; when every day is leg day, you're always hauling around a couple of really serious weapons.

London is dangerous; it recently surpassed NY for number and ratio of murders. It averages something like 150 assaults per day, and chemicals are highly controlled because of the vast number of acid attacks used to ambush, disable, and rob victims in transitional (public) spaces.

Defending yourself from an ambush is extremely difficult even when you know it's coming, and especially if there's more than one ambusher.

Its quite difficult to defend against a well executed ambush.

Its all too easy for this to happen in an urban environment.

what is the tl;dr; version of your question?

I don't read questions that are longer than a line.

Please learn to write concisely for the web.

Is your problem one of reading or a lack of concentration?

That is a much better question. Good job. You are learning.

The answer is: I don't have a problem, thank you.

Yet you have already displayed your problem, just not the cause. At least you are reading better now.
You do seem to troll quite a bit.

I thought that is what you were doing when you replied to @f4rrest

He was just making a perfectly reasonable request
