If you are willing to pursue the extreme course of action go to the doctor, say that your ankle has gotten really sore or something similar - must have been trying to jump out of the way of the car. He can't accuse you of faking symptoms so then you have a medical report of an incident as a direct result of the man in the cars actions. Next say to the doctor that you have an developed an irrational fear of cycling which has affected your livelihood, getting to work etc. Take a few sick days due to the shock of the incident. Then claim it all through his insurance company.
Make an official complaint to the police that you felt very threatened and that it was not dealt with properly - when I got mugged the officer said that the threat of physical violence constitutes assault. Demand to make use of the police victims support service where they can make an assessment of you. Then take it from there.
