This is the bizarre and dangerous moment a cyclist was caught riding a bike the wrong way along a motorway towards oncoming traffic.
The scenes played out at just after 12.30pm today - Wednesday - on a northbound stretch of the M61 motorway, near Kearsley Spur in Bolton. The 61-year-old, from Bolton, told the Manchester Evening News : "I was in my car travelling back from Manchester towards Bolton and had pulled off onto the slip road from the East Lancashire Road.
"It was just bizarre and dangerous. The bike appeared to be heavily-loaded as if he was heading somewhere. It is not the first time I have seen something bizarre on this stretch of motorway.
