Not sure if it belongs in this section, but I had to put it somewhere.
I was cycling along the Cycle Superhighway 7 route late last night (outside of commuter hours) when I heard a van accelerating behind me. This was at a section not far after where all the taxis are parked over the mandatory cycle lane but before the Elephant and Castle detour. My cycle lane went straight ahead but the white van (for that was what it was) drove past me, cut me up and knocked me off my cycle. I somehow managed to hop-skip and jump onto the pavement without so much as a scratch (and so far I haven't seen any damage to my bike either). This means I can't report it to the police as a hit-and-run as that requires some sort of damage. The fact I don't know white vans registration number wouldn't help either, but I did see the company name - IPC - anyone have any brushes with them or been hit and run by their drivers?
