He was not seriously hurt but suffered a blow to his back and was left frustrated by the whole event. `Fortunately I`ll `get away with` just a strong blow to my back,` he wrote on his Facebook page.ADVERTISEMENT Modolo explained that he was hit from behind while stopped at a traffic light. `He didn`t see me or wanted to go through on red (though I`m not really sure what he wanted to do). He pulled down his window and just laughed. The passenger then got out and minimised what had happened sarcastically saying `it`s only a bike and nothing happened to you`,` Modolo said.  `I realised that I wouldn`t have got anywhere with them, so I took a photo of the vehicle, saying I`d report them to the police. The driver took off at that point.` You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
