Moment BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James is clipped by reversing van after driver ran over a Lime bike during ride with Jeremy Vine [Video]

BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James was almost knocked off his bike after a van reversed towards him during a cycle ride with Jeremy Vine in London. 

The 38-year-old presenter was forced to frantically start smacking the vehicle as it slowly backed towards him during a trip through central London.

The near-miss was caught on camera by cycling fanatic Jeremy Vine, who shared the footage on his X account online. 

In the clip, James – wearing a blue shirt and helmet – can be seen attempting to pass behind the van before being forced to scramble out of the way as it starts to reverse. 

Veteran broadcaster Vine is then heard confronting the driver, saying: ‘Oh God, for f*** sack. What the hell man, It’s the guy from Radio 1. You can’t back into Greg James.’
