Posted by why?, a resident of the Old Mountain View neighborhood, on Jan 29, 2013 at 7:26 pm Any chance he was attacked simply because he was riding a bicycle? Was there an attempt to steal the bicycle?

Posted by Smells like..., a resident of the Gemello neighborhood, on Jan 30, 2013 at 9:41 am Sounds gang related or retaliatory. Apparently the guy was lying in wait for this guy.
If nothing was stolen, the odds of some loony crouching in a bush and just randomly hitting someone over the head is pretty small.
