A close pass because the driver didn't consider the oncoming Shogun will always be reported to the police ☹️😬

Yesterday, On way back from work I stopped briefly as I had been stressed out recently from home and work etc.. anyway didn’t help that some young me decided to damage my bike and threatend to steal it. They didn’t steal it but now there’s damage to the seat, gears and wheels are slightly buckled. Front more than rear and possibly breaks (as the breaks are making a weird notice) They drove off as soon as I said you know your on camera (my audio doesn’t work) later on a bystanderasked if I was ok ended up calling the police and two PCSO’s came I explained and they said there colleagues were going to have a look on the shops CCTV. I do have it on camera but my battery went low so couldn’t show at time. (And the time and date but I know the date and time on my camera always is wrong for some reason.
Anyway how do you send helmet camera footage to the police because obviously I should send it. Is it possible through online

@Randombiker9 Have you a case number? I reported a close pass . Emailed the video but it got blocked due its size and they asked for it to be sent by a Dropbox. Best ask them how they want to receive it.

@Randombiker9 sounds like a awful experience, how did the damage the bike? hit it with a weapon or kick it?. In essex you have to upload several minutes before and after the incident so the files do tend to be huge. The police have a dedicated site for this. Think youll just have to google how your police force does it.

Thanks and I know but after this incident I just get shaken up. Still am in a bad mood even though I’m at volunteering I litreally only got 4 hours sleep instead of my ussuall 8 hours do have a slight wrist pain from when they kicked the bike out my hand but I think that’s more too do with my low muscle tone as I only just noticed it today when I’m typing and cleaning out at my volunteering. I’m being very quiet at my volunteering because of it but I’ve got a feeling the staff is going to ask at lunch
yeah but Things could of been worse like if I was on it at the Time
I guess they realised there mistake as they drove off afterwards probably saw my camera

Just take it easy and if possible avoid that location on the trip home to avoid any anxiety.
Fingers crossed the police catch this filth.

Thanks I don’t cycle today anyway I just cycle on Tuesdays for work and for fun in spare time luckily
First biked commute since last Tuesday today, two days worked at home and three taking cover in the 4 wheel thing from flying twigs etc so the lull in the strong winds was welcomed. Took it carefully this morning as it looked a bit glittery and quite glad the road bike has a new set of relatively grippy 28s (Vittoria Zaffiro IVs). The ebike still being in bits. On the return found a long queue of traffic on the A59, a set of TTLs have been on it for some time but now they have also closed for other road works the alternative route west as used in the opposite direction by the UCI circuit.
So spying a typically empty pavement the bike wholly on its own accord led its rider on to it
Once round a bend over a beck it becomes a cycleway anyway. It looked like the cycleway was blocked further on albeit with no sign at the preceding junction so I turned off earlier than normal onto a shorter but slightly steeper route.

Bloody hell. that's pretty bad. Makes me think how having a camera is a real deterrent too...looks like they would have had your bike if you hadn't mentioned they were on camera. Hope the footage leads to a prosecution. lowlife scumbags!. Hope you get over the shock soon.
