mowed down.

Perhaps, a helmet camera like this:

Or, maybe a bicycle helmet with both front and rear facing cameras:

My son and I were returning home from a ride today and encountered an older guy on a belt drive bike with all sorts of gizmos and two cameras on his helmet -- forward and rearward facing. The rear facing camera was looking right at me, which is oddly intrusive. I'm hoping to be selected for his just-riding-along highlight reel. If we had passed with too closely, I'm sure the video would have been posted to some bicycle-shaming website.
