A tweet from Hampshire Roads Policing Unit said: “The residents of Martyr Worthy raise concerns of speeding through their village. Speed enforcement is carried out this morning - justified with speeds up to 47 in a 30.
"Helpfully, a Lycra clad cyclist wanted to know if we had anything better to do all whilst cycling in the middle of the road, too busy looking back at us and narrowly avoiding a crash. Just can’t help some people!”
