I turned around and took his picture but I can't make out the "Hows my driving" phone number, only the van number 2355.

I need to carry a better camera than just my phone...

Think I can just call Comcast and complain to them?
Phone calls are okay, emails may work, but in my experience a letter gets the most action. At my employer, complaints are taken seriously, especially if someone takes the time to document it in a letter. At many places, letters must be responded to, and a copy may end up in the employee's file.

Catgrrl70's advice of a calm, rational description of what happened is excellent. Do not ramble, use obscene language, or preach the benefits of cycling. A brief mention of safety and implications is fine, though. Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation also help.
