I believe this crash took place in Australia.
Helmet cam as witness
Bicycle Network
Increasing numbers of riders have a camera on the helmet or handlebar just in case there is a dispute over the facts of a crash.
The eye-witness that does not lie
4 February 2012. Helmet cams are proving invaluable in the battle for bike riders to assert their rights and win justice on Australia’s roads.

Bicycle Insurance: What are the options?
by Lars         Texas Cyclist
What are your options when it comes to bicycle insurance? It depends a lot on what you are trying to insure.
If you are looking for the type of bicycle insurance to protect yourself against the theft or destruction of your bicycle, you’ll want to look at your homeowner’s insurance policy, or perhaps your renter’s insurance policy if you don’t own a home.
You’ll want to make sure that the bicycle is insured for “replacement value†instead of just “depreciated value.†If your $5,000 bike is three years old and you have it insured for the depreciating value, you might end up getting…
