Meet Cycling Mikey, bad drivers' worst nightmare

Drivers in London have one more reason to pay attention on the road: His name is Cycling Mikey, and he’s on the lookout for bad drivers. As CBS News' Ian Lee discovered, he's on a mission, and he's armed with a GoPro.

Well, everyone hates busybodies and snitches. If he acts like a cnt, he should expect to be treated like one. What I have noticed over the years is that activists like this guy are the worst authoritarians because they get a perverse thrill out of lording control over others. Someone needs to shadow this guy and track every single thing he does and report him for every infraction. Maybe he will learn to mind his own business.

Goes into high traffic areas, rides around endlessly looking in everyone’s windows, catches someone on phone in traffic jam and everyone call him a hero, smh. He’s just a creep

Cycling Micky, the man who ignores any cycling infringements

[jimmorrison]

The bloke needs to get a life.
He's just shitting on whoever gets in his way so he can get his daily fix of likes and shares.
People shouldn't be on their mobiles while they are driving, and I am genuinely sorry about his dad, but this bloke's whole existence is based around this now.
He should move on.

He’s a psychopath, he takes pleasure in doing all this nonsense, he mocks them as well

Im really torn on Mikey's activity.
Some of the places he picks (Gandolf Corner) are 100% justified, as are the ones when drivers are clearly using phones for minutes.
However I once asked him how he can walk/cycle, whilst simultaneously recording and commentating. I asked if by doing this he wasn't giving 100% of his own attention to the road. His answer was rather arrogant; a rather sanctimonious attitude that made me think he's more out for YouTube clips than really improving safety.

This is kinda guy that wants you to get arrested for your Facebook posts

[nijak]

He should be banned from youtube because if you record someone without their premision and then put on youtube and make money of it i think its taking someones privacy

Next up: Mikey reports people who dare to leave their house more than once a day 'for an essential reason' during lockdown.

The irony is this guy almost never obeys the traffic laws himself. In almost every video you can see him cycling in the lane for oncoming traffic for long periods of time (because he knows he will get a clearer view into the driver side window.) .. clear view or not doesn't make 1 person above the law. It's pretty hypocritical, I just hope they get tougher on cyclists.

Worst nightmare for phone users on the road . Actually fair play to the man . Follow the rules and be safe .

[MrSimonson]

Quit YouTube, stop insulting people and trying to lecture them then you’re doing a good job 👍 simply catch film and report.

I'm a subscriber to his channel and always watch his videos :D

[azztekk]

cycling mikey is doing a superb job in trying to keep innocent people from being injured or killed by distracted drivers. he has inspired others to do the same as him, and should get the kings medal for his efforts.

Lucky this guy isn't in Florida or Texas where drivers carry guns and things can turn ugly quick....

[petejams]

Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to do this in the US without getting shot on your first day.

" drivers have very little regards for cyclists in the uk"
I think its the complete opposite. Cyclists have very little regard for any road user and pedestrian in the UK.

[dannyfeller]

Cyclists in the UK have no regard for pedestrians. They are a far bigger danger than cars as they hit and cycle on. There is no way to catch them.

[christhackeray]

Yep, but what about all tthe bloody delf entitled cyclist going through red lights, scooting up the slopes on pedestrian crossings shouting obsenities to people to get out the f---king way, banging into them telling women with pushchairs to f---king look where they are going.
How many cyclists has he seen going wrong side of that sign and made no commeent. 😡😡

Handing video to the police who the F++k does he think he is...He's nothing but a vigilante who the police should put a stop to...
