Matthew’s dashcam picked up the cyclist peddling along the left shoulder carrying an orange food delivery bag on his back.

Matthew told the Birmingham Mail: “I was travelling north on M6 just after spaghetti junction.

“I called 101 once off so could get help to the guy.

“The contact centre thought I said the was a Just Eat lorry [delivering] bikes.

“When the penny dropped it was a cyclist [the operator] went ‘oh I get someone on it straight away’.”

After Matthew shared the footage to Twitter, Just Eat responded saying the company is investigating.

A spokesman wrote: “Hi Matthew, thanks for flagging.

“Most delivery drivers delivering food to customers’ doors are employed directly by independent restaurants.

“We do work with third-party courier companies, agency couriers and self-employed independent contractors in certain areas.

“We hold ourselves to the highest standards and in line with these, we would expect all drivers associated with Just Eat to act responsibly and respectfully at all times.

“We’re investigating this, please do send a DM if you have any further details to share.”

The Sun has contacted West Midlands Police for comment.
