On Monday on my way home from work, as I was about 2 miles away from home, I spotted 2 muppets on a scooter. Both had their faces covered with what looked like a woolly hat pulled down with the eyes cut out. One was wearing sunglasses. I shouldn't laugh but my first thought was "he looks like FoneJacker".
They clocked me as they turned right and slowed, watching me as I rode off.
Yesterday near the same place I saw what looked like the same scooter but with someone totally different on it. He was just whizzing about in traffic, no helmet, face not covered, shorts and a t shirt.
Last night I went to the gym. I took my son as he was doing some boxing. As we were driving along the main road, from my left two more muppets on a scooter (no helmet, faces covered) were trying to turn right out of a side road on to a main road.
I made the next left turn only to come face to face with 4 twots on quads, riding the wrong way directly towards the oncoming traffic.
I was hoping Birmingham would escape the plague of thieves on scooters, but it looks like it's starting to take off.
I'll have to be more vigilant when I'm riding the bike.
