Bethan Lloyd Glass describes her harrowing experience of being robbed at Regent's Park while cycling. As she prepared to join fellow cyclists, she was targeted by moped-driving thieves who forced her off her high-value bike. This incident reflects a troubling trend of rising crime against cyclists in the area, where masked robbers are increasingly using motorcycles to strike. Police data indicates a surge in bike thefts, sparking fear among the local cycling community that the once-safe park is no longer secure for enthusiasts.
I just went completely blank... I saw the bloke on the back of the bike turn around and look at me, then look at the bike... I just thought oh this is it.
Regent's Park has been enjoyed by thousands of cycling enthusiasts... but the lack of cars has also made the royal park a target for moped muggers.
