POLICE were stunned to pull over a food delivery cyclist - spotted pedalling along a motorway on Easter Monday.

Officers posted a picture showing an orange-clad rider with a large food backpack on the M5.

Amazingly the cyclist was unharmed - despite cycling along the hard shoulder during busy Easter Monday traffic.

Gloucestershire Police Special Ops posted the image - suggesting it was a Just Eat worker.

They said: "Up there with things not to do on the motorway, especially on a busy bank holiday. JUST DON'T! Rider dealt with appropriately."

 

Just Eat has been contacted for comment.
