Overview

• Jeremy Vine announced he will no longer share cycling videos due to severe online abuse and at least two death threats under police investigation.
• The BBC Radio 2 and Channel 5 presenter had used helmet-cam footage to highlight urban cycling dangers, amassing over 100 million views.
• Vine stated that his videos aimed to encourage drivers to consider the risks faced by cyclists in cities but also drew vitriolic trolling.
• His decision follows the theft of his bike last week, which he described as a tipping point in his choice to stop sharing footage publicly.
• Vine plans to continue cycling privately while remaining vigilant but will no longer post videos documenting his commutes.
