A DRIVER assaulted a cyclist and threw their bike into the hedge in High Wycombe.

A man was cycling along Oakridge Road when the driver of a car got out of his vehicle.

He assaulted the man and then threw his bike into the hedge. The attack happened at 8.30am on Friday.

Thames Valley Police have released no details of why the assault took place.

PC Rowen Austin, investigating, said:”The victim was extremely shaken after this incident. We believe there were a number of people in the area at the time.

“I urge anyone who witnessed the crime or has any information that may help us with our investigation, to contact me at High Wycombe police station on 0845 8 505 505.”

For information between Desborough Street and Abercromby Avenue, Oakridge Road is part of the published East/West cycle route. Of course cyclists have as much right to use any road as car drivers (motorways excepted).

8:30am, I suggest this may be part of the gentleman's daily commute, is there any description of the driver or car available?

Oh and btw. I'd like to see them try and throw my bike in a hedge.

What with the motor and battery it weighs nearly 40Kg, and I weigh 10stone, and I'll be punching them in the head!

Of course we don't know what prompted the driver to do this. Some cyclists are pretty obnoxious.

Well I weigh more than both of you at 16.5 stone…

I would simply use my car to knock you off your bikes, and then as your sitting rubbing grazed knees I would have ample time to pick your bikes up and chuck them in a hedge...
