Rider Down Rosebery Ave. 01/10/2014

I was knocked down while approaching the junction near ex mouth market. I was riding on Rosebery Ave. when a van driver knocked me from the side as he decided not to stay in the side street.

It knocked me across the road from one side to the other injuring my left side, damaging my new carbon shoes, new halo wheels and bike.

He came over asked twice while I was on the ground if I was alright and when i asked him for his details he didn't respond.

Got in his white van and drove away.
This happened around 8:15 am this morning.

An amazing bystander said he would help as a witness and gave me his details

I contacted the police who gave me a crime reference number and hopefully they will look at the footage from the two massive traffic cams that caught the whole thing.

Not sure what are the next steps. Any advice as how to proceed?

did you call the police at the scene?

Appeal for witnesses? Did you notice any other riders? When I got hit there were a couple of people who came up to me and offered the car rego and their cards for witness statements.

A witness who helped me gave me his details.

I am going to request the traffic cam footage in hopes there is some still.

I hope it is helpful.

I called the police when I got to work later on in the day.

Now I know how adrenaline gets the blood pumping. It felt like a soreness pain but now a day later its feeling like a prolonged numbing pain, but I am taking ibuprofen until I see the GP today.

always call the police and ambulance at the scene!

What to do in case of an accident

I believe the TfL traffic cameras don't routinely record so it is unlikely they have anything :(

They responded and couldn't help. Hopefully the police get a better lead.
