The worst thing about someone cycling the wrong way in a cycle lane is driving a car coming out of a side street, carefully moving forward and looking right checking for any oncoming cyclists and cars and then WHAM! The idiot coming from the other direction goes straight over the bonnet. Then it's how he's injured and he's going to sue. Call the police and ambulance and wait months to see if you do get a registered letter in the post………. This has happened more than once. Although there was one time I was pulling out of a private entry onto a one way street (with no bike lane) looking right as I carefully moved forward to see around parked vehicles and a large bearded man from the wrong direction went flying over the bonnet. Again! When he picked himself up he couldn't have been more apologetic. He knew he was going the wrong way but it was 5 o'clock in the morning, it was a shortcut and he'd never seen anyone coming out of that entry before. Oh, and he was German!

Technically I'm not sure there is a wrong way in a separated cycle lane…
I would say, bad city planning. Cyclists tend to look on the road, not five miles ahead like car drivers.
Same shit here in Germany. They Drive where they want.
Who gives a shit. He's riding a kids toy.
Unlike any of the cars on the road, the cyclist isn't a credible threat to anyone's safety
All good he's just from a civilized country with the correct circulation side! 😉
Notice how it’s mostly ….
It’s an American!
but… isn't every lane a cycle lane?
What about the drunk who painted all the road likes crooked? 😂 No wonder everyone's confused.
So why didn’t you kick him over
Who cares.

That happened with e-scooters on Westminster Bridge
Happened in Hayes in front of an ambulance
In Leicester, bike lane is bike lane.
Cycling the wrong way seems to be a new trend . . . Messed up people !
he was not white
He didnt learn his lesson cause you didnt aggressively ring your bell and mutter stuff under your breath like you do with the cars hero
Has the random elaborate bodge to suit cycle lanes usage been transferred to a highway code book yet?
If you breakdown next to some flexi bollards and a cycle lane do you park on the cycle lane next to the curb or in the car lane next to the bollards?
They are visiting from the US so you're the one on the wrong side lol 😅
He thinks he's still in his own country.
