The shocking moment a cyclist was spotting peddling up the M8 has been captured on video. The biker was filmed riding along Scotland's busiest road at around 3.15pm on Sunday, February 5.
The man, wearing jeans and a puffer jacket but no helmet, was clocked on the five-lane section of the motorway in Glasgow, leaving drivers stunned. The hooded individual is seemily oblivious to the disbelief around him, as he travels eastbound from junction 15.
In the video, which was taken by an eyewitness and shared on social media and captioned 'only in Glasgow', an Asda bag can be seen hanging over the bike's handlebars as traffic begins to queue behind the cyclist.
Motorists appeared cautious to overtake, considering the man was so exposed to a stream of fast-moving vehicles on either side. Police Scotland say they were alerted to the event this afternoon but there was no sign of him when they arrived.
A spokesperson said: "We received a report of a man cycling eastbound on the M8 near junction 14 around 3.15pm. Officers attended but there was no trace."
It is against the law for motorways to be used by cyclists as well as pedestrians, powered wheelchairs or mobility scooters and horse riders.
