A POPULAR television and radio presenter has shared his disbelief over a recent video of a man wrongfully confronting cyclists about bike locks.
Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2 and Channel 5 presenter shared Nick Sturdy's video on Twitter, stating that "Worcester has a problem with bicycles."
Vine tweeted: "This is brilliant. "The sign says you can't lock your bike to these planters." "No, the sign INVITES us to lock our bikes to them."
"When worlds collide. Proving again that Worcester has a problem with bicycles."
In the video, the man claimed the group had 'damaged' the planter - which he did not realise was intentionally meant to be a bike rack.

As the group enjoyed a meal at Burger Shop, the man became enraged with the bikes chained to the rack and part of the exchange was filmed on camera.
Mr Sturdy wanted to share the video online to highlight some of the problems cyclists face in Worcester.
He said how surprised he was that the video gained such a wide reaction online - watched by over 60,000 people.
Mr Sturdy said: "I wasn't expecting the video to blow up on Twitter quite like it did, to be honest - it seems to have resonated with quite a few people.
"I only posted to raise awareness of what life is like cycling in Worcester, which can be rather challenging sometimes, though it is getting better slowly but surely."

The plant locks were purchased as part of the Park That Bike scheme where the plant locks could be purchased by businesses and subsidised through Worcestershire County Council.
Jeremy Vine is best known for being the host of The Jeremy Vine Show on Channel 5 and the BBC Radio 2 lunchtime show.
