I read that an airhorn on the bicycle is a handy tool (safer than a pistol). Set that off pulsing with sound. Then stop it.
If attempted: say to the nice man:
"I call 911 and tell the cops to find the airhorn. They will be here in 60 seconds and take you to jail for assault, and I will file a complaint that you attempted to knock me off my bicycle to assault me, do you want me to do this right now?"
If actually assaulted -- (someone throughs a rock, or a stick, or a ball, or a dog at you) please call 911 and follow through. Start the air horn now. There are most likely kids in the area that are not brave enough (they need to live in the area) to have the cops take care of the bully, and you are the first. That so called father needs to have the cops give him a lesson in civility.
Hopefully the cops show up. I might ask the cops to review my commuter route for safety from being assaulted. Might be a good idea.
