Now here’s the thing- whilst that vehicle is stationary and the men are working, as indicated by the blinkies, they will be on foot. That makes them a pedestrian and more vulnerable in the hierarchy than a cyclist, so if a pedestrian is forced to walk across a cycle lane that’s not acceptable either

Don’t be silly - Jeremy is a staunch defender of the hierarchy, except when it doesn’t work in his favour.

At the very start of the video, he is in the road when bizarrely the cycle lane is on the right. However, his gripe seems to be going back into the road only a few meters further down.

:lol: He'd probably complain if they were pushing a fucking bin across the cycle lane as well the nob. Now that would be delicious - Vine getting run over by a Euro 5 bin

Humans like him just stir up hate and need to not exist in the public eye.

If anyone has seen the film Kung Pow Enter The Fist, then the weeooweeoo sound is quite memorable.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0JElywbkS ... cgd2VlIG9v

An old man on a bicycle at Ferry Meadows had this sound as his bell 😂. He pressed a button on his bars that set it off, the dogs wondered what the hell was going on 😂.

Are these custom bells now a thing or was he just a crazy mental. He had every optional extra and was wearing Lycra so looked like a strung lamb roast.

Yeah, he really shouldn't be on the pavement with a bike...

Maybe he shouldn’t live in slow motion? Dick.

Can’t believe he was walking down the truck lane. And without a helmet

Jeremy Vine would have exploded with excitement if that'd happened to him 🤣

Jeremy Vine would've jumped in front of the truck just for clicks and outrage rather than save his own skin.
