UrbanSkaters

Earlier today I received an email from Buffalo Bill over at MovingTargetZine.com, he wanted to bring my attention to an article he’d written about an inline skater attacking cyclists. 

Some lunatic skater wearing a gorilla mask has been threatening and attacking couriers (and probably other cyclists as well).  – Read The Full Story Here.

I can confirm that on further google-investigation, that there is a mystery inline skater on the rampage attacking cyclists in London.  All the reports are clear on two things. 
1) The skater wears a gorilla mask, 2) The skater only seems to be attacking cyclists.

I’m sure I speak on behalf of the inline skating community here in London when I say, that we do not condone this type of behaviour.  I hope the gorilla is caught and dealt with quickly!

I’ve put together a list of London based inline skate shops, that I know of! Click the shop name below, or a marker on the larger map to view contact details. If you know of any shops that aren’t listed, please use the comment form to leave me your recommendations.

Let me know if I’ve missed any shops out and I’ll add them to the list.
