May I recommend that you carry a sturdy walking stick when out as a

simply insert it between the spokes. It will focus the mind as the cranium

You should also ensure that your insurance covers you for assault
causing actual bodily harm. If it doesn't then it's probably best not
to try this as it could be very expensive indeed.

And of course the cyclist who assaults you while riding through a
pedestrian crossing in the green man phase will also have insurance.

That comment makes no sense at all. Why would a cyclist assault me
while he was riding through a pelican crossing, albeit illegally? And
in any case, as discussed ad nauseam, actually it's quite likely he
will have insurance even if he does not know it.

If you are asking "why": probably because he doesn't care. If you are
asking "how": by colliding with you.

If this unlikely event ever happens I will bear it in mind.

Yes, we know his household insurance will cover him, the problem is that
a large percentage of households do not have insurance.
