Video footage has captured the moment a cyclist held up a London Underground train after refusing to remove his bike from the carriage, despite repeated requests from passengers and staff.
The incident occurred on a Central line train at Bond Street station, where the man was told that the train could not depart until his bicycle was removed.
One frustrated passenger is heard shouting: “You know no one goes home if you don’t get off, you can cycle home bro,” as others leaned out of the carriage to see the commotion unfold.

Transport for London (TfL) rules allow folded bicycles on all Tube lines at any time. However, non-folding bikes are banned during peak hours (between 7.30am and 9.30am, and 4pm to 7pm, Monday to Friday).
Additional restrictions apply to certain sections of the Jubilee, Metropolitan, Northern, and Piccadilly lines and non-folding e-bikes fitted with certain conversion kits are also prohibited.
Over the station’s speaker system, the train driver made an announcement to passengers: “This is a customer announcement, the train will not be moving until the person with the bike has got off the train.
“You are holding up all the passengers on this train, please remove your bike from the train.”
TfL has been approached by The Standard for comment.
