He’s the cycling BBC presenter on a mission to embarrass the dodgy drivers blighting London’s roads.

But now Jeremy Vine, a man who has been described as ‘willing to die in defence of the Highway Code’ has been turned on by the capital’s cyclists.

One particularly foul-mouthed rider launched a two-minute tirade against the former BBC presenter, repeatedly branding him a  ‘f****** s***head’, a ‘d***head’ and a ‘clown’ before telling him to get in the ‘f****** lane’.

The BBC star, 60, was the victim of the vicious rant as he commuted to work by bicycle on Wednesday morning.

The radio presenter was laid into as he appeared to signal late while moving into the left hand lane of an almost empty London road.

Mr Vine, who accepted he should have signalled earlier, labelled the cyclist ‘Britain’s rudest cyclist’.

The man, riding a Canyon bike, dressed in full black cycling kit, a black helmet and white cycling shoes, immediately raged as Mr Vine changed lanes.

‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, why are you pulling in front of me?’ the angry cyclist said.

The BBC presenter responded ‘did you see me?’ to which the man replied: ‘You can see I’m f****** behind you and you’ve just come across the road like a d***head as well.’

They start riding alongside one another, trading insults, before Mr Vine asks if he saw him signalling. 

‘Yeah, you’re supposed to look, the man said. ‘You move when somebody’s not behind you, you f****** clown.’

The raging cyclist continues: ‘And then you just pulled into the road like a f****** c*** with your f****** thing in your f****** hat’.

‘Oh my God’, Mr Vine replied, before the aggresive cyclist brands him a ‘f****** s***head before overtaking him.

Mr Vine added: ‘You’ve got problems man, you’ve got real problems’ to which the cyclist replied: ‘You’re the f****** problem’.

‘These are the dangers here,’ Mr Vine, who frequently films himself riding through the capital confronting drivers, tells the cyclist, as he points at a black cab and a lorry.

The man appears to take offence at the comment, and stops besides him, shouting: ‘you f****** c***’. 

Mr Vine wrote: ‘This is the strangest moment because he drops the F bomb and the C bomb and just stares at me smiling.’

Mr Vine then reveals his identity, to which the cyclist replied ‘oh you’re that f****** newsreader.

‘The one who got f****** knocked off, good. 

‘Tell me why you got knocked off? Because you can’t even manage to get in the f****** road, you cut across the road.

‘And you don’t f****** move… you s******’

Mr Vine replied: ‘The abuse is not of interest to me, you are obviously a violent person, be careful, don’t hurt anyone’.

They continue riding down the road, hurling various insults at each other.

The cyclist said: ‘You’ll hurt yourself riding like that you s******’, before Mr Vine replied ‘your anger is the danger’.  

‘Go on a cycling proficiency course’ he yells at Mr Vine, adding: ‘Get this s*** off your c**k you c***’

Mr Vine replied: ‘Is that where you learnt to shout abuse, you are a comedian aren’t you?’ 

He angrily calls him a ‘f****** s***head before cycling off into the distance.

The full tirade was posted by the BBC presenter on his X account, where he wrote: ‘I think I just [met] Britain’s rudest cyclist.

‘He was annoyed at the way I changed lanes, and in future I will signal earlier.

‘But this tirade broke all records.

‘I need to know if he’s in a customer-facing job.’

In another X post, he wrote: ‘this is the strangest moment because he drops the F bomb and the C bomb and just stares at me smiling.’

But social media users were quick to side with the furious cyclist. 

One X user, Ben Usaf, wrote: ‘But you failed to observe before moving.

‘Signalling doesn’t absolve your need to look and be aware of your surroundings That’s also an offence under S29 RTA88, up to a grand fine. You may not have enjoyed the abuse, but you did earn it.’

Another added: ‘I mean Jeremy, you’re always the one saying cars turning left across a bike lane should give way to bikes behind them before turning or moving, so perhaps this gives a bit of insight as to why that’s actually dangerous? Human error? You moved and didn’t see him?’.

The angry encounter was far from the first time that Mr Vine has clashed with fellow motorists while on his bike. 

His helmet-cam footage regularly sparks viral debates — sometimes over the driver’s actions, other times over his own, such as whether he should be wearing hi-vis gear at night. 

His quest has seen him catching out foreign diplomats using their mobiles behind the wheel and van drivers dangerously cutting him up. 

Capturing all the drama on his 360-degree camera and sharing it on social media, the TV personality has even threatened to report reckless drivers to cops.

But his actions have proven far from popular with some of his ‘petrosexual’ critics, as he calls them, being quick to blast Vine online. 

One road rage motorist was sentenced to nine months prison for screaming ‘I’m going to knock you out’ at Mr Vine before making a gun sign at him.

Shanique Syrena Pearson was found guilty of road rage offences after shouting abuse and threatening Mr Vine in the row in Kensington, west London, in 2016. 

Pearson was caught on Mr Vine’s helmet camera getting out of her car and screaming at the TV presenter.

A court heard she formed a weapon with her fingers and cocked it at Mr Vine´s head as he pulled alongside her at a set of traffic lights, which he interpreted as a ‘serious threat’.

Mr Vine has since compiled a map of mayhem, where he displays all of his run-ins with drivers across the capital.
