Share this @internewscast.com

A controversial vigilante cyclist renowned for provoking drivers throughout London and reporting them to the police has recorded himself pushing his bicycle into a car.

Michael Van Erp, known by his YouTube alias Cycling Mikey, shared a five-minute video as he had an altercation with a driver trying to navigate roadworks on Paddenswick Road in Hammersmith.

Standing directly in front of the vehicle blocking its path, Mr Van Erp argued there was a no entry sign, adding: ‘What is that sign back there? 

‘You have to go back now… very naughty,’ he added, as the car reversed and other motors emerged from the other direction. 

However, the driver didn’t seem to be deterred by the vigilante as he attempted to enter the road once again. 

To seemingly deter the driver, Cycling Mikey swiftly thrusts his bike into the road and the car, resulting in the bike shattering as the vehicle departed.

But the vigilante continued to block the road with his body to prevent another driver passing by. 

‘No f*** off go back,’ he yelled at another driver: ‘What do you think you’re doing? Go back.’

Mike Van Erp, 50, better known by his YouTube name, CyclingMikey, 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

Mike Van Erp, 50, also known on YouTube as CyclingMikey, navigates London with a GoPro to catch drivers using their phones—often in traffic jams or at red lights—before confronting them on video and taking down their license plate.

Cycling Mike then picked up the damaged parts of his bike scattered along the road in west London.

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

Mr. Van Erp frequently observes motorists engaging in road offenses, such as using mobile phones while driving, and once caught a driver inhaling nitrous oxide.

After recording, he sends his videos to the Metropolitan Police, and after they take action, he posts his videos on to his YouTube channel. 

Based on his X account, he has reported 2,280 drivers since 2019, leading to 2,649 penalty points, £165,000 in fines, and 35 driving disqualifications.

Among those who have been reported by the cyclist, are Guy Ritchie as well as Chris Eubank. 

After being caught by Mr Van Erp driving his Range Rover through Hyde Park, the film director was given six points on licence, a fine as well as a six-month driving ban.

Eubank was handed three points and a fine after being caught running a red light in a bid to flee from Cycling Mike in September 2021, after the vigilante challenged him for trying to connect to his hands-free phone system. 

‘Apparently he said he was worried that I was a stalker,’ Mr VanErp reflected in an interview with the Daily Mail. ‘Although I can’t imagine Chris Eubank really being scared of anyone, can you?’

However, last year, Mr Van Erp also disobeyed the rules of the road, filming himself cycling through a red light in Belgravia.

With almost 120,000 subscribers on YouTube, Cycling Mikey rakes in thousands of views showing his rows with drivers. 

His friend, Jeremy Vine, used to post similar footage before giving up in April due to the abuse. 

The Daily Mail has approached the Metropolitan Police for comment. 

It comes after Paul Lyon-Maris, 60, was cleared of dangerous driving after a court heard he was ‘intimidated’ when Cycling Mikey ‘jumped’ onto his bonnet. 

In 2021, the celebrity talent agent, who has represented Alan Rickman, Sir Ian McKellen and Warwick Davies, took an illegal right turn on his way to a physio appointment in central London. 

But he was blocked by Mr Van Erp, who stood on the road while filming ona head-mounted camera and using a selfie stick.

Footage showed the YouTuber come down on the talent agent’s bonnet, as the motorist continued to drive around 60ft before turning at a junction near Regent’s Park.

Shortly after the incident, Mr Van Erp could be heard saying ‘Hey Siri, call 999’, before police rushed to the scene. 

During the trial, Mr Lyon-Maris said he felt ‘surprised and a little intimidated’ when the cyclist jumped on his car bonnet on September 9, 2021. 

A jury at Southwark Crown Court took three hours and 51 minutes to clear the talent agent of dangerous driving and common assault.
