That's the plan. Didn't want to make a fuss, just wanted costs for new frame and anything else that can't be salvaged covered, but he then scolded me for overtaking station vehicles on the inside, ignoring the fact I was on a cycle lane and he was cutting across traffic to turn right.
Insurance the lot, when he notices he won't get away with it and then wants to negotiate remind him you offered and shove the new higher bill right up his ass.
Have at him, Shing. Ricky sent me the pics of the bike, such a shame it's knackered but lucky you're sort of ok...
Definitely get solicitors involved. Do you have British cycling membership? Is Leigh Day still the forum approved solicitors? Have you reported it to police?
Fuck him, insurance the lot. Report to the police
