If you have spent any time on cycling Twitter, you've probably come across CyclingMikey. Invariably, it will be some form of abuse targeted at the cyclist-YouTuber, real name Mike van Erp, who regularly riles the car-driving community. This week, it was a video of an unknown cyclist fighting a taxi driver in Yorkshire, with the caption "Taxi driver has snapped at Cycling Mikey!" (spoiler, CyclingMikey was nowhere near Yorkshire at the time). This is the kinder end of the stuff he receives.
"I'm like marmite," Van Erp tells Cycling Weekly. "Some people love what I do, and some people hate it. The people that hate it tend to be younger males with driving licences. There's some really, really grim stuff. Endless abuse."
