Moment vigilante Cycling Mikey pushes his bicycle into a car after row over whether motorist could drive there
Michael van Erp, also known as Cycling Mikey, uploaded the around 5-minute clip of him arguing with a driver who attempted to travel through a stretch of road.
The black car was attempting to drive by some roadworks on Peddenswick Road, Hammersmith, however the cyclist argued there was a no entry sign.
Standing directly in front of the vehicle, blocking its path, Mr Van Erp said: '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.
In a bid to seemingly deter the driver, Cycling Mikey quickly pushes his bike into the road and the car.
The bicycle was smashed into several pieces as the vehicle rushes off away from Cycling Mikey.
But the vigilante continue 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.'
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 routinely catches motorists committing road offences, including using their mobile phones behind the wheel - and even 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.
According to his X account, he has reported 2,280 drivers since 2019, which has resulted in 2,649 penalty points, £165,000 in fines as well as 35 disqualifications from driving.
Among those who have been reported by the cyclist, are Guy Ritchie as well as Chris Eubank.
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.
