If you can show damage that is greater then 250 dollars then they will file a report, but be worned that the cyclist will be at fault (the reason is so that it will not show up on the driver of the cars fault and thus affect his driving record, drivers insurance and the statisics of accidents, since you dont know a drivers liense to ride a bike it will not affect you) Luckly most cops have no clue how much a bike cost, and if you just make up a number in the cost to fix your bike they will believe you because they do not know the difference
I dont know if this help you or not, but this is just want I found out when I was clipped head on
