Thoughts on Cycling Mikey

[Alex321]

But he is not obstructing for legitimate users.

So how, exactly, is somebody *legitimately* coming the other way going to get past the obstruction? Of course he is.

But that is irrelevant, since the legislation (as linked above) makes no mention of "legitimate users".
It just says:
"If a person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way wilfully obstructs the free passage along a highway he is guilty of an offence".

It isn't even about him blocking a specific person, it is the fact he is obstructing the free passage.

if you can find a legitimate user being blocked in his videos then do share. I haven’t spotted any yet.

In all the times that Mikey has stopped drivers endangering others at that corner, have the police ever charged him with obstruction?

Yup.
Come on @Alex321 you must be able to see that: consider the vast ranks of anti-Mikeys, SOMEONE would have worked out how to get him charged!!

I admire him for standing up to bad and dangerous driving. I've not watched enough of him to see if he rides to his own high standards in terms of roadcraft, but assume he does. It's quite telling that he is also courteous t oand respectful of considerate drivers

Yup

I didn’t know that.

Do you know how many times, and the outcomes?
