    On Sunday 11August at approx 11.30 am I was deliberately knocked off my bike by a man driving an old green range rover on the A6 near whatstandwell, between Cromford and Amber gate.
    The driver took objection to me shaking my head at him in his mirror after he pulled out in front of me, just before whatstandwell bridge, causing me to break heavily to avoid hitting him.
    After twice getting out of the car to run at me across the road he decided to use the vehicle to hit me rather than his fists. The car didn’t stop and the police want to talk to the driver as would I.
    I have suffered multiple road rash, bruised shoulder and sternum and a broken hand, as well as £400 of damage to my bike.
    If anybody lives in the area and knows of any old green range rovers or indeed witnessed the incident, please can you let me know. Any help towards catching this person would be greatly appreciated.
    The driver was of a large build and in his late 50s/60s with grey hair, there was also a woman in the car at the time with grey hair.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Sounds horrific, I hope you
    Sounds horrific, I hope you make a quick recovery and that this does not put you off riding – these events are very rare

    Although I’m generally against the principle, I guess this is a scenario where you could really do with a helmet cam

    Hopefully some CCTV or witnesses will come to your aid
