A video clip recently uploaded by the Dutch carer, 53, shows a heated exchange between him and a motorist turn sour.
Footage shows Cycling Mikey and the motorist get into an argument after the driver tries to sneak down a road marked "no entry."
Mikey can be heard in the clip saying: "What is that sign back there? You have to go back now, very naughty.'
The road appears to be reduced to a one way street by roadworks with traffic cones and signs telling drivers not to enter it from one side.
The driver refuses to do as Cycling Mikey says and keeps trying to find his way along the road.
Spotting an opening the driver of the little Fiat 500 proceeds along the "no entry" road, attempting to pass Mikey.
At this point the brazen vigilante cyclist tries to block the drivers path, throwing his bike in front of the driver.
The motorist ignores the flimsy roadblock and accelerates along the road anyway, ramming Mikey's bicycle out of the way.
Mikey's possessions are thrown across the road by the impact with the motorist fleeing the scene quickly after.
The road safety enthusiast then continues to try and block the road with his body to prevent another driver following the first.
Watch moment cyclist deliberately stops traffic - but who's in the right?
He can be heard shouting: "No f*** off go back, what do you think you're doing? Go back." at the other driver.
The Dutch vigilante is left to pick up his possessions from the tarmac after unsuccessfully stopping the motorist.
Footage of the confrontation between the road safety warrior and the driver was filmed by Mikey and a bystander, offering two angles of the argument.
The clip was uploaded by the Dutch cyclist to his social media accounts alongside hundreds of other videos of his confrontations with drivers.

'Group sex talk, a lust for married men and cancer': Blow-by-blow, read the astonishing accusations Mark Latham is making about his ex in court
Mark Latham's ex-girlfriend told acquaintances her husband had died of bowel cancer and that she was a grieving widow - when nothing of the sort happened, the politician claims in an explosive court document. In a sworn affidavit, filed in local court as part of restraining order proceedings Nathalie Matthews is bringing against Latham, the politician also claims Ms Matthews told him in a conversation in London in June 2023 that she had an interest in group sex and had a 'fetish' for married men. 'In f***ng me, it shows how much they value it, risking their marriage,' she told him, Latham alleges in his affidavit. During that same alleged conversation, held during a six-week trip to London, he also learned Ms Matthews ran an OnlyFans account under the name 'BondiC**S**t', Latham claimed in the court document. Latham, who had recently left a 22-year marriage, said in the affidavit that the conversation in London was 'a lot to take in', adding it was 'wild and beyond my experience in life'. That night, Latham decided to pursue what he called a 'situationship' with Ms Matthews because, he said, he wanted to embrace a 'modern approach of not being judgmental about a woman's morality' and to 'enjoy' himself before he passed away. 'At my age (62 when we met on 3 March 2023) my father had already dropped dead, and if that was going to happen to me one day, at least I was going to enjoy myself beforehand,' he wrote. 'So, I decided to see how it went for those six weeks, if our time together was compatible and happy, comforted by the fact that Nathalie spent a lot of time in Dubai, meaning if I needed a break from her intensity, I had that back in Sydney. 'I saw 90 per cent benefit in our situation and ten per cent downside. 90 beat ten, as I rationalised it at 3-4am in Putney that night and eventually fell asleep.' Elsewhere in the affidavit, Latham accused Ms Matthews of telling people her ex-husband had died of bowel cancer despite being alive to this day. 'When she went to Dubai in 2022, following a break in her time with (her husband), she told people there her husband had died of bowel cancer and she was in Dubai as a grieving widow,' he wrote. Ms Matthew's ex-husband, who asked not to be named, told the Daily Mail he was not aware of the alleged claims, and that he had never suffered from bowel cancer. Ms Matthews declined to comment. The affidavit was filed on July 31 in response to Ms Matthews' AVO application with the NSW Local Court. Ms Matthews, 37, alleged that Latham, 64, inflicted 'a sustained pattern' of psychological, financial and emotional abuse against her for almost three years. The former federal opposition leader has denied all abuse claims made by Ms Matthews, alleging the pair's relationship was consensual. The relationship, which Latham said was founded on 'sexual pleasure', would devolve within the next nearly two years. Also in the court document, Latham accused Ms Matthews of planning to meet a senior corporate figure for sex in May 2024. 'She called me on my mobile that day. I remember it well because she rarely called (preferring to message) and the Parliament was sitting. 'I took her call as I was walking down a corridor back towards my office.' Daily Mail does not suggest Ms Matthews is dishonest nor that Latham's claims are true, simply that they have been made in an affidavit sworn by Latham. Latham has denied all abuse accusations, claiming that he had 'scores of documents' which would vindicate him, and enjoyed a 'fantastic' sex life with Ms Matthews. In the affidavit, Mr Latham also rebuffed the idea relationships should be entirely equal, claiming Ms Matthews enjoyed elements of 'consensual subservience'. 'A feature of today's politics is the woke feminist idealisation of the notion of Equality. This is a political theory, popularised by the #MeToo movement, that every aspect of every relationship must have equal power relations and practices. 'But as a colleague said to me last week, "It's not uncommon for relationships to be internally unequal, in fact there are plenty of them in private, it's just the way some people like it by choice". 'Nathalie was one of those people, enjoying elements of consensual subservience.' Ms Matthews describes herself as the managing director of Skynet Global Logistics, a company involved in freight forwarding which has a presence in Sydney, Perth and Dubai. Latham and Ms Matthews began dating in 2023 and ended their relationship earlier this year. The matter will return to court next month.

Villarreal president defiantly responds to backlash over Thomas Partey signing - and urges fans not to 'judge prematurely' as former Arsenal star faces multiple rape charges
Villarreal's president has responded to the heavy criticism his club has faced since signing former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey amid his ongoing rape charges. Partey, 32, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court last week to face multiple rape charges, including five counts of rape and one of sexual assault, before being granted bail. The midfielder is accused of two counts of rape against one woman and three counts against another. The sexual assault allegation relates to a third woman, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said last week. The charges came just four days after Partey's contract at the Emirates expired on June 31. After being granted bail, the Ghanaian was able to complete his free transfer to Villarreal, who have since been the subject of significant controversy as a result of the move. Partey was booed and whistled during the Yellow Submarines' preseason friendly against Aston Villa over the weekend, which marked his first appearance in a Villarreal jersey. President Fernando Roig has issued a defiant response in answer to criticism of the signing Club president Fernando Roig has issued a defiant response in answer to the criticism, insisting that the club 'upholds the presumption of innocence'. 'The player is currently undergoing legal proceedings. He maintains his innocence and denies the charges against him,' Roig said after the 2-0 defeat by Villa. 'The club upholds the presumption of innocence, and it will be the responsibility of the English courts to clarify the facts. We have spent years demonstrating our values with all kinds of activities. 'We respect the presumption of innocence and, of course, condemn any type of violence, whether inside or outside of football. 'At this moment, Partey is as innocent as the rest of us here. A fundamental right like this must be respected.' When asked about the boos directed towards his new player, Roig added: 'The English [Aston Villa fans] whistled Partey. Not the Villarreal fans. 'I wouldn't like our own fans to whistle at players on our team. We must stand with the team and respect the presumption of innocence. He is not a convicted player. 'We must be cautious and wait for justice. Let's not judge prematurely. Thomas has the right to do his job until there is a conviction.' Partey, who will defend himself in court in London next month, is prohibited from contact any of the three women involved in the case, as per the bail conditions. Meanwhile, Arsenal have also come under fire in the wake of Partey's rape charges. Protesters who turned up to last week's hearing held up a sign criticising Arsenal's alleged handling of the case, which read: 'Arsenal said: "We do the right thing". Then did nothing.'
