Broadcaster Jeremy Vine has been stopped by police in London's Hyde Park for speeding on his bicycle. | |
The BBC Radio 2 presenter said he had been caught travelling at 16mph (25km/h) in a 5mph (8km/h) zone. | |
He apologised after an officer tracked his speed using a radar gun, but seemed not to agree with the speed limit. | |
"If cyclists are forced to travel at walking pace, they will return to the roads and mix it with trucks," 49-year-old Vine tweeted. | |
He posted a short film of what happened using the aptly named social media app Vine. | |
He added in a tweet: "When I got to the office @BBCRadio2 and said I was radar-gunned at 16mph on my bicycle, producer said: YOU ARE LIVING ON THE EDGE." | He added in a tweet: "When I got to the office @BBCRadio2 and said I was radar-gunned at 16mph on my bicycle, producer said: YOU ARE LIVING ON THE EDGE." |
