Another cyclist has been stopped by police for riding along a motorway hard shoulder.
Police were called yesterday morning with reports from passing drivers a man was cycling on the M27 in Hampshire, heading Eastbound.
People driving on the motorway were advised to reduce their speed to 30mph while a patrol car was dispatched to find the man on the bicycle.

The cyclist was stopped near junction 5 between Eastleigh and Southampton at around 8am this morning, and police spoke to him on the hard shoulder, the Daily Echo reports.
This is just the latest in a flurry of reported sightings of cyclists on motorways, including the man spotted riding a bike on the M57 near Switch Island - which prompted a police search in which officers failed to locate the cyclist – and a repeat offender cycling on the M25, both in April.
Earlier this month 52-year-old Simon Wagner was killed in a collision while cycling on the M3.
