Well one's legal, and seemingly effective, and one is effective, but not legal (here anyway)
Is this the unraveling of CyclingMikey?

I’ve just went through a phase of watching loads of his videos(the algorithm got me). There’s something weirdly satisfying about seeing the schmucks get caught. I can see why he’s got the amount of followers he has.
Don’t agree with him policing but fair play for having the balls to do it and putting up with being so hated for the cause; From what I gather, he started posting years ago due to dangerous driving he witnessed when cycling, also said his father died in a road traffic collision and that he has family/friends that experience similar issues in London.
If you watch enough of his videos, he actually comes across well during friendlier interactions. The way I see it, don’t break the law and you won’t get caught by one of these busybodies.

Many people dislike him for his hypocrisy.
He'll happily castigate motorists but won't say boo to a goose to the law-breaking cyclists.
He also posted images of the faces of the 2 guys that filmed him throwing his bike in what some say may have been an attempt to 'dox' them

Exactly, there are plenty of videos where he ignores anything illegal committed on two wheels, including his own actions that often flout the law. He’s as bad as those he reports. All for clicks, nothing about the greater good.

He states clearly in many videos that he doesn’t stop cyclists or motorbikes incase they fall off and he’d be liable. It’s also harder to catch them due to no licence plates. If you look at the stats, it’s the motors that cause the injuries/deaths on the roads.
Never heard such BS in my life. He's a hypocrite that focuses on 4 wheels only, what a stain.
Mikey, is that you?
Clearly a very divisive topic. Seen him shouting/criticising cyclists plenty in the videos.
As I said, I don’t agree with any of these guys, I’d rather see police or cameras doing the job but it’s entertaining enough for youtube. Don’t break the law and you won’t have to deal with them.

I've never seen him badger anyone who wasn't doing anything illegal, have you?
So vigilantism is acceptable/legal?

Answer the question, then start with the strawmen. You're putting the cart before the horse here.
What utter drivel.
By that then he shouldn't stop motorists as he's at risk of causing a collision as he PURPOSELY causes an obstruction
So cyclists have never caused death or injuries on the roads? Hmm ok then.
The irony of the very actions he takes being illegal
Obstruction of the highway (in some cases not all) and Vigilantism.
I dont watch all of Mikey's videos. But what I have seen is him turning a blind eye to 2 wheel offenses like a hypocrite.

This type of crime is the worst, people can't go about their day in peace, basically terrorism.
I’ll bet you can name one high profile incident of a cyclist killing a pedestrian, while the number of pedestrians and cyclists killed by motorists is so large that we’ve totally normalised it and basically don’t care.
Like him or loathe him, it is quite funny watching people who know they are 100% inescapably in the wrong try to argue the toss about why it's ok for them to be driving the wrong way through a junction, especially when you subsequently see their determination to avoid backing down was no doubt inspired by their complete inability to actually reverse a car (like the bloke in that Volvo above bouncing over the island as he did so).
