The man stepped in front of his bike, was visibly drunk at 11 AM on a Sunday, and Alan tried to leave twice before being physically shoved off his bike. He hit the man enough to end the confrontation, not to hurt him. The neighbor's camera caught only the last ten seconds and was sold to TMZ within six hours. When Alan checked the video back, he saw the man was approaching again for a third round while Alan was trying to restart his bike. Here is the providential turn: Alan had owned a body-cam chest pack for a year and had never worn it. That morning, an inexplicable feeling led him to dig it out and put it on. When police arrived to arrest him based solely on the neighbor's clip, his footage cleared him. He calls it a gift from God. What still hurts: his kids won't ride with him anymore, and that shared joy hasn't come back.
