Is this the unraveling of CyclingMikey?

[Vonhelmet]

Have you ever cycled in flip flops?

Few have and lived to tell the tale.

Yep, seems to be absolutely lethal. Like orphans die when you just cycle past them.

I must be extremely lucky, I've probably cycled enough to circumnavigate the globe a few times in flip flops and not even died to death once

Gets called names within 4 minutes of the video, glorious.
What an absolute wet wipe.

UK’s most hated man is a bit hyperbolic. Most people won’t have even heard of him.

Mark McCann. Sadly nothing but click bait nonsense nowadays.

I meant Mikey, the cope this guy has as a vigilante against drivers using their phones in stand still traffic is wet wipe behaviour. Maybe he should try it on the M25 where it actually matters.
Mark's content is very hit and miss.

Shouldn't be going down a one way street then huh

Spoken like someone who uses their phone while driving.

Regardless, Mikey's actions are pathetic.

What does the highway code say about using a phone even when stationary?

Perhaps. Still shouldn't be going down a one way street.

Those that are fully engaged by their phones in standing traffic chances are they'll do it elsewhere as well including the M25 so I have no sympathy, though in situations where someone has say quickly skipped forward/backwards on their music playlist especially if a mounted phone in stationary traffic I think you need to use some discretion - same as I don't spend all day uploading videos from my dashcam of everyone I see breaking the speed limit but if someone is driving excessively fast for the conditions I might.

Or more someone who spends his life on the M25 that see's people use their phones, at speed. Grow up.
Why not focus on what will be more risky drivers that are on the motorway? Where you know, peoples life's will actually change in a serious accident.

I didnt know treating low risk was more of a priority than high risk. Thats what you come back with off of my reply though? Try harder.

Perhaps. Still shouldn't be going down a one way street.

Why you focusing on one incident when this conversation and that video alone covers numerous? Try harder.

He was a motor insurance claim handler.

FORMER claim handler and we don't know why he's no longer one. For all we know he could have been fired for poor decision making.

There are SEVERAL of his videos where commenters have not only refuted but proven his opinion completely wrong. He's also shown bias many times towards cyclists.

 

[sidimmu]

Most interesting part is the last 2 minutes, chatting with a lawyer confirms that Mikey pushing his bike out is a criminal offense, is criminal damage.
Acting as a vigilante confirmed.

Bicycle too slow innit


But to echo what everyone else has said, if you're not doing anything illegal he will leave you alone. Not really sure how people are having difficulty understanding this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You mean you're telling me when I'm a cyclist I can't go through red lights, and it's disgusting if road users shout at me?

I will bet you any amount of money that a greater number of people are killed or seriously injured on roads other than motorways.

Using a phone when stationary isn’t as harmless as you’re making it out to be. It builds the habit and makes drivers more likely to use while moving including on motorways. That’s why the law doesn’t make a distinction. You’re still in control of the vehicle and distraction delays reaction times when traffic starts moving again. The stats show mobile phone use is linked to dozens of deaths a year and those include cyclists and pedestrians, not just motorway drivers.

Don’t let this dude(Mikey) wind you up so much.

I’m still waiting on my video evidence of him purposely trying to provoke people.
