Riding Mo-bikes along the motorway is not how they should be used, police say
A cyclist has been caught riding along a busy motorway, traffic police said.
Officers were alerted to reports of a cyclist pedalling along the M60's hard shoulder near the Trafford Centre in Greater Manchester at about 05:30 BST.
The rider, who has not been identified, was on an orange-and-silver "Mo-bike" - a Manchester scheme which allows people to use their phone to rent a bicycle and drop it off wherever they choose.
The cyclist could now be fined up to £2,500 for dangerous cycling, external.
North West Motorway Police tweeted: "Manchester free bikes not for use on the motorway".
