2011-09-29 - Rider Assault, Notting Hill Gate

Thanks all. Even Hippy didn't help... to be fair, he cycled past about 25 minutes after it had happened. Fuckin' Aussies eh?

Good man for backing him up. The fact that the cyclist pushed back is immaterial - he has the right to use reasonable force to defend himself. If he's reading this I'd advise lodging a complaint with the police. Might also be worth contacting the chap who writes The Cycling Silk as he's a) a QC and b) been taking an interest in assaults on cyclists.

I agree and so did the other witness / Police but I can understand the position the Police were put in given that neither myself nor the other witness saw the original altercation.
