Cycling Mikey doesn't deserve the hate he's getting

[ByDandyTurtle]

He's not putting fumes in people's lungs from his car and sees people doing illegal activities that kill others or make our premiums go up.

1. It's illegal because no distinction is made between moving and not moving.
2. I don't drive, as I said. I don't condone it. I've just said that it's not dangerous - and you, along with everyone else, have given absolutely no possible way it is.

You’re saying none of the people he stops are breaking laws?

21 in a 20 zone is also illegal. But unsafe? On a main road?

No they haven't. They've said "when you start moving..." - which is, oddly, different from not moving.

People have explained it. Did you not see the posts and the links with the research about mobile phone use?

Im sure you, random person who can’t even read an OP properly, is right and they’re wrong though

Where have I said he's in the wrong?!?! This thread is full of utter fantasists! Stop making things up!

Honestly, I'm done with this thread. I'm out. I'll get banned if I say the only reasonable response to this level of total invention.

I think you need to brush up on the law mate

But using a mobile while an engine is on IS dangerous.

This is just more evidence that I hate twatty, entitled men. Especially those that like to make themselves feel big on a majority female website.

Another PP inferred that road users irritated by his actions were likely drivers causing issues, hence my initial point in the reply. The refresher course would at least be something everyone was facing. Perhaps other measures need to be explored, but the point is that the DVLA at least has some authority.

It is indeed provocative to break the law, but capturing and submitting evidence is sufficient to begin police action. I have witnessed and immediately reported serious criminal behaviour, but I would not deliberately go looking for it.

I suggest you get a motorcycle, and see how you feel out there.

I thought this too, especially calling him the lowest of the low.

He doesn't have to "wind people up" he chooses too.

And seems to take a perverse joy in it.

And if the others like him are anything to go by, the video will be carefully edited to only show the worst of drivers.

He's a good guy and overall doing a positive service for the UK.

Yeah, sorry. They will be far too invested in their phone in traffic as their RiGhT

I don't use my phone when driving. I follow the highway code. I give cyclists ample space. If I saw Mikey irl I'd say hello and tell him what a lovely chap he is

He didn't 'throw his bike in front of someone's car' though.
He pushed his bike into the carriageway in order to advise a driver that they were driving illegally, ignoring two No Entry signs that had been set up while major gas works were being done. The driver was an over-entitled aggressive shit, who deliberately accelerated at Mikey, in contravention of the Highway Code (which says that drivers have a duty of care towards more vulnerable road users, and should NOT drive into them on purpose, believe it or not), and having crashed into his bike, drove off without stopping (again, breaking the law).
Watch at

Because afterwards traffic moves. Think pls.

Him and Jeremy Vine with their twatcams are awful.
Vine especially, deliberately puts himself into situations for his Twitter gotcha moment.
Cycling twitty Micky is a dick. Didn't he recently whack his bike into the side of someone's car? Hope they sue him, driver was just driving along and he literally threw his bike at the car

Hi Mikey 😂

If we continue 'leaving it' to the police, nothing will get done about (a) bike theft and (b) dangerous/illegal driving and parking.

I'm glad people like Mikey are on the case, as the police are useless.
Where I live we have huge problems caused by drivers parking on pavements (which is supposed to be illegal here now) and double-parking on busy roads rather than bothering to go a few metres further along from the shops where there's space by the kerb.

This makes it harder for pedestrians to navigate the world safely, especially those with pushchairs and walking aids, blind people, children, the elderly etc. It's (in my experience) mostly relatively young, able-bodied (lazy and inconsiderate) drivers who park like this. And just this evening, there was a police car parked on the pavement along from my house (literally 2 metres from an empty off-road parking space).

The police do very little to prevent bike theft, or tackle the sale of stolen bikes by thieves. Even when they recover stolen bikes, they don't go to much effort to return them to the original owners.

Personally, I believe that all drivers (especially those who will be driving in relation to their work, or having any kind of road safety role, like the police) should have to attend basic cycle training in order to get a driving licence. This would mean that this training would end up becoming compulsary for the vast majority of adult cyclists (most of whom have a driving licence); at the moment it isn't.

It would lead to all road users having a better understanding of each other's behaviour/choices, as well as a bit more empathy for each other (there's plenty of evidence to prove these impacts).

There are noticeable speech patterns of certain posters on this thread, particularly those vehemently defending Mikey.
