Posting on Facebook last night the group said, ‘We are lost for words.’

The incident captured on CCTV shows a motorbike rider setting off to travel down the street when he is abruptly rammed by a man on a motorbike coming the other way.

The rider of the bike jumps off and appears to throw his motorcycle towards the victim.

The victim falls off his motorbike.

They have set up a Crowdfunding page to raise money to help finance their efforts.   

‘We’re currently using the cheapest possible equipment we could find, with a van that is struggling to keep up with the number of recoveries we’re doing. In the first four months of us doing this, we recovered 115 bikes back to their owners free of charge and this is increasing daily.

Anything you can spare will go to helping us help London’s bikers. We’re more than happy for people to come out for the evening with us as well, so you can see where the money goes,’ their Crowdfunding page reads.
