YouTuber Mike Van Erp AKA CyclingMikey spends his time riding around town and looking for drivers who are breaking traffic laws so he can shame them online and report them; which either makes him a road safety hero or an utter bell end, depending on how you want to look at it.
Either way, it was only a matter of time before CyclingMikey messed with the wrong motorist, and that moment finally came the other day when a taxi driver completely snapped and put a beatdown on ‘Britain’s most hated cyclist’:

How emasculating for CyclingMikey. Looks like he had the height, reach and weight advantage on this taxi driver, not to mention the protection of his helmet, but the cabbie in flip flops still managed to overpower him and German suplex him into his taxi. Imagine a cabbie ragdolling you into his cab to ensure your beating was on the meter? £2.50 surchage for that left dig!
P.S. Seems to be some debate over whether this is CyclingMikey at all, but I guess it’s worth blogging all the same. Well, except for the taxi driver who’s probably about to lose his license over the whole thing. Unlucky.
