Thugs attack cyclist - on YouTube

Do you know these violent morons? The attack took place in Bexley Village, south east London, on or around the 21st June. The attack took place against cyclist Simon who gives a full account of the attack - and the police incompetence that seems to have followed - on cyclist forum road.cc here.

Given that most of you live in West London it's highly unlikely you'll recognise either of the morons but just in case...

  1. Surely the registered keeper of the vehicle is obstructing the police. Did they report the vehicle as stolen? If not, they must know who was driving at the time.

  2. Might be worth starting a facebook/twitter spread of this...

  3. This is disgusting, barely watchable and a daily fear of anyone cycling around London. I really hope that he is tracked down and punished accordingly.

  4. I provided the ES with some links (I am not the cyclist) and some details of how to contact the cyclist through road.cc and they have now covered the story. I would be interested to know if it is in today's edition. If so, the guy should be receiving a knock on the door soon I imagine!
