Look out for this Van
Sorry if it's in the wrong place guys but I just wanted to give people a heads up, especially if cycling in the Bath/Bristol area.
Basically some thuggish employee of Aliden Services in Bristol thought it'd be a good idea, for no good reason, to run up behind me and thump me in the back of the head whilst I was waiting at the traffic lights next to The Weston pub in Bath on friday morning. A nice addition to the morning commute.
Obviously got a ton of witnesses but i really do not have time to press charges. If you look on their FB page, the Vauxhall van they were travelling in is actually on the right of there cover image.
Safe cycling.

Thats always the best part, when you catch up with someone who has wronged you in a vehicle, the disbelief that a bike can catch a car or a van shakes them to the core.
Thought you were flagging up a new Van Nicholas model for a moment there.
Sorry to hear about this - similar thing happened to me a while ago - a bunch of lads out for a drive in what was obviously mummy's car - caught them up a couple of miles later at a shop and gave the driver what for - he practically wet his nappy.
