Nearly got mugged for my bike

Was biking out on Fallowfield Loop today on a ride trying to enjoy the weather when these two blokes wearing balaclavas came flying past me on a supped up e-bike, genuinely going about 50 mph. A bit further down where there were no people they slowed down and started to turn around. Luckily there was a slip path off that I darted down before they got to me that led to a busy housing estate in Chorlton. They went past me as I joined onto the housing estate, staring me down the whole time, and left me to it as there were people everywhere. Genuinely a terrifying experience. I feel incredibly lucky that the exit path was there cause without it I’d be without my bike, phone bag and who knows what else done to me. Be careful out there guys try to keep to busy areas and if not be with a friend as they won’t be able to get both of your bikes. Really disappointed though as I was really enjoying my Fallowfield loop rides and only discovered it recently. Definitely don’t feel safe in it anymore and won’t be using it again that’s for sure. Sad that one of the only decent and safe pieces of cycling infrastructure around the city is full of criminals trying to steal bikes.
