A FORMER city MP took this picture of a cyclist performing a wheelie, going the wrong way along College Street in Worcester.

Former MP Mike Foster tweeted out after seeing the 'idiot' youngster, who was performing the trick between Cathedral Square and the Vue cinema on Tuesday evening.

Mr Foster told the Worcester News that his concern was for motorists who might hit him, as they would not expect "to see a bike wheelie being performed on the wrong side of the road".

"By chance they were doing this in sight of a police car waiting at the traffic lights," Mr Foster said.

"I flagged the attention of the officer driving who acknowledged she could see what they were doing."

The paper recently reported how police were cracking down on motorcyclists riding at speed and performing tricks around streets and on pavements in Warndon Villages.
