Cycling Mikey returns to scene where he pushed bike in front of a car

Controversial vigilante cyclist Cycling Mikey returned to the scene where he pushed his bike in front of a car to perform the same stunt again. 

The biker, whose real name is Michael Van Erp, this week uploaded a five-minute clip showing him wheeling his bicycle into a car as the driver tried to pass roadworks on Paddenswick Road in Hammersmith.

As his bike lay smashed into several pieces on the road, Cycling Mikey continued to block cars with his body to prevent another driver passing through. 

Today, he returned to the same spot again to stop drivers getting past, blocking the road and wagging his finger at anyone who disobeyed him. 

As one grey car travelled down the road, Cycling Mikey drove in front of it to act as a barrier, forcing the driver to turn around as he told them off with a hand gesture. 

At one point, a Tesco delivery lorry spotted the vigilante cyclist and decided to turn back, receiving a thumbs up from a pleased Cycling Mikey as a result. 

The lorry driver then shouted back ‘are you Cycling Mikey?’ to which the cyclist replied, ‘I am, you’re all good mate, you’re all good’. 

At the end of the clip, he wrote: ‘These drivers were all a lot more reasonable than the crazy Fiat driver you all saw Sunday and yesterday.

‘They’re still in the wrong and should not be driving like this. The good thing is that there were quite a few drivers who did not even try to run the No Entry. Well done and a high five to those!’ 

Mr Van Erp, 52, rides through London with his GoPro as he attempts to catch drivers on their phones – before confronting them on video and taking their number plate.

The road safety warrior claims to have caught more than 2,000 offenders since first strapping on his ‘helmet-cam’ back in 2006 – with his motoring victims including Frank Lampard and Chris Eubank.

But the cyclist – who works as a carer and roller-skating instructor – was last year caught out by his own cameras as he pedalled over a London crossing despite the lights being red.

After the incident which saw his bike crushed, the activist picked up the damaged parts scattered along the road in west London. 

Mr Van Erp pushed his bike into the road and the car, splitting the bike into several parts

Mike Van Erp, 50, better known by his YouTube name, Cycling Mikey, rides around London with a GoPro to catch drivers using their phones - often in traffic jams or by red lights - before confronting them on video and noting down their number plate

Mr van Erp told The Telegraph: ‘I did not throw the bike at his car. 

‘I did not go out with the intention of a collision. 

‘I just wanted to block him, but his unexpectedly savage acceleration and my slightly late reaction meant we ended up on a collision course.’

The cyclist vigilante regularly records and reports incidents, as well as keeping track of their eventual conclusion.

Mr Van Erp routinely catches motorists committing road offences, including using their mobile phones behind the wheel – and even once caught a driver inhaling nitrous oxide.
