What to do if I was knocked off my bicycle by another cyclist?
I was cycling on a cycle lane when suddenly another cyclist clipped me crossing the lane and hit my front wheel, knocking me off. I had several scratches, my glasses smashed, luckily, it was on my pocket.
He insisted he didn't touch my bike and I fell off because I don't know how to cycle!
If it were a car, I could get the license plate. But in this case, what to do if he just went away?
I can't force him to provide his name and address. Could I have called the police in this case? Could I have retained him while the police is coming?

You could have called the police. Then if he tried to leave follow him. You could stay in contact with 911 to let them know what direction he was traveling and give a description of him. It would be a bad mistake to try and detain the person. You could get seriously hurt.

Not much you can do without witnesses or his admission after the fact. What you CAN DO for future reference is get a helmet mirror!

You can see fools coming & possibly take preventive measures before the accident happens.

If he knocked you off and you are 100% on this then you should have detained him/her. They broke your items and injured you. Call the police and report it. If they find him they will detain him/her. If you find them then call the police and report it.
