Bikies, Below is an e-mail I received with a request to forward it to the bicycing community.
Arthur Ross, Pedestrian-Bicycle Coordinator City of Madison Traffic Engineering Division 215 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Suite 100 PO Box 2986 Madison, WI 53701-2986 608/266-6225 --------------------------- Dear Mr. Ross Is there a web site, or list serv which addresses the larger bicycle community in Madison? I am the Co-Chair of the Eken Park Neighborhood Association. The item below was sent to us March 18 by a neighbor. Since the location is adjacent to the bike path just north of E. Washington Ave. I thought it important to reach out to the bicycling community in Madison. I want to advise cyclists who ride near here to be alert. I also want to encourage them to report suspicious or threatening behavior to the police, not simply ride away. The actual location would be the corner of Commercial and McCormick Avenues. This has been reported to the police. Thank you, Jim Wold I was driving home this evening around 8:30 PM and witnessed an attempted mugging of a man near the McCormick street apts on the corner. Please be careful walking, 5 - 6 teenagers ran from the man on the ground when my headlights hit on them. The ran up along Starkweather creek bike path towards East. Washington. They never crossed E. Washington, as I turned to follow them in my car and follow where they went. I did report it to the police. Believe they live in the apartments along that stretch of creek between Commercial and E. Washington. Please be careful walking at night. They teenagers, not much older two around 6 ft in height the others all smaller frames. They had to hold their pants up to run. I learned from Police the man that was the victim did report it as well. Respectfully, Marcus
