Glad you're ok though mate.
The people in those vehicles sound right oeufs?

I would definitely report this, next time it could be a child, hit someone in the face and cause some serious damage.

I don't think anyone is going to throw a child at a cyclist

Years ago I was riding my V-Max. Looking cool, very Dennis Hopperesque, when a car over took and the passenger threw out a fag end which landed in my lap. At the next set of lights I threw the still smouldering ciggie back through the car window.

LONDON. Police are hunting a vegetable-flinging gang
after a man was killed by a turnip hurtled from a
passing car, an inquest was told yesterday. There
have been at least 23 incidents around the East End
of London where people have been hit by potatoes,
cabbages and melons tossed from moving vehicles.
Leslie Merry, 56, Leytonstone, East London, died
after being hit in the back by a turnip thrown from a
car on July 14. He sustained a punctured lung and a
rib which was fractured in three places. The death
was being linked to a spate of similar incidents,
including a jogger being seriously injured after
being hit by a cabbage.

Report it to police. Once reported the police will have a legitimate reason to pull them over and search their vehicle. If eggs are found on board they are in trouble.

Quick Update: The friend I was cycling with has reported this to the police, and they are investigating. He has a copy of the video and will drop it off at the police station. I won't be removing the video from youtube tho. If you cycle around Berkshire, Keep an eye out for the two vehicles and avoid them at all costs.

On the original video you can clearly see the rear seat passenger of the black truck chuck the egg.

I can see the justice, but that could have caused a much worse accident. Friend of my mum's was driving his car with the window open in Canada - bloke in front in a convertible flicked his cig out and it landed inside Mum's mate's shirt. Nearly killed all of them. Obv, not good that you got the fag flicked at you in the first place.

Many, many years ago in a Galaxy far far away......... in Plymouth I used to commute on one of these :

One summer day the idiot in the car in front flicked out a cigarette that landed in my groin, and burnt a hole in my jeans, painful... but missed the family jewels

Being younger and less staid, I took umbrage at this... stopped, picked up said fag end caught up car, made a few immature comments to the driver and flicked the butt on to his back seat

I think I'm on fairly safe ground in saying that the passenger who flicked her fag end at me, and to whom I returned it, wasn't driving the car so would have had a jolly old time trying to crash it.
