Title: ''Jeremy Vine ‘stopping cycling videos’ due to abuse he receives

abuse he receives''

''Broadcaster said trolling ‘got too bad’ and at least two death threats against him were being investigated by police''

''For many cyclists, Jeremy Vine’s commitment to filming drivers he regarded as endangering his fellow two-wheeled travellers made him a hero. It also made the presenter the target of some extraordinary online hate from those who accused him of persecuting motorists''

what the hell is wrong with motorists that they go to these lengths to the very people that improve their lives by:

Giving them more room on the road.

Not polluting the air they breath.

Not damaging the road compared with motorised vehicles.

Quieter for residents in built up areas.

I wonder whether his cctv cameras filmed the theft.

The way he bangs on about it on his TV prog I'm not surprised at the abuse he gets

But you still watch or read about it pod? and why shouldn't he, he has equal rights to use the road as motorists, I note no one has yet posted in defence of abusive/dangerous motorists.
