WARNING: Early morning workouts in Wrigleyville/Lincoln Park

Ya, tell me about it. What's even crazier is had I not hit snooze on my alarm clock and decided to turn left down Roscoe, but when straight on Clark like I sometimes do, I literally would have biked right into trouble! Oy vey!

Guess the saying is true...everything happens for a reason!

For those of you who choose to work out early in the morning, such as I do, this is a warning. 

I was riding my bike this morning towards the lake, down Clark, and turned left onto Roscoe to head towards LSD, to find out just now, that 2 men were beaten up and mugged within a block of where I was, within minutes of me being in that area.

I feel badly that I didn't see anything to help catch the guys, but thankful that I didn't cross paths with them, because who knows if they are out to beat up only men, as it appears that is what their M.O. is, or if they would have done something since I was on my nice bike?

Wow!  That is scary.  I'm glad you did not have an encounter.  Be careful out there!
