This morning at about 7am, I was about 150 metres from my house, and at the front of the traffic lights. Cycled onwards and about 20 metres after the junction, this blue BMW accelerated from behind me, overtook and then pulled left, knocking me off - he then drove off in a hurry. No way he missed me, lights were blazing and I shouted as he drove into me.
Thankfully I got nothing more serious than grazes and cuts, although I was so shook up that I ended up thanking the two witnesses and heading to work, without taking their numbers, or writing down the BMW's registration. Just feel like an idiot now, but a little bit spaced too. The only positive was that my brand new Torm jersey held up like a boss. Brake hood is wonky now.
How hard is it to get hold of CCTV footage? I called 101 but they said I have to go into a station to report it.
