This is the moment a group of cyclists encounter a motorist driving their car down a cycle lane in London.

The footage shows a white car driving towards a group of cyclists coming the other way on a designated cycle lane.

One of the cyclists riding in front waves at the white car as a warning and they both slow down and come to a stop.

The male cyclist then gestures at the white car and offers to give way, and the car begins to turn onto the road.

The unexpected rendezvous has been posted on YouTube by user Simon Allen, who has also recorded other videos while on his bike.

In the video description, Mr Allen wrote: “Car driver must be very confused, drives down a dedicated cycle lane.

“Definitely needs to be re-educated about the rules of the road.”

The video footage is the latest in a series of incidents between cyclists and other road users.
