AN officer from West Yorkshire Police captured extraordinary video footage of a cyclist riding on the hard shoulder of the M62.

The cyclist, who was travelling wetsbound between junction 24 and junction 23 near Huddersfield, even rode straight past a "report of a cyclist" sign warning drivers of his presence.

PC Martin Willis, known as Motorway Martin, tweeted: "There are many types of conveyances that are prohibited from using the motorway. Bicycles are one of them!"
