This is the moment a "selfish" commuter hogged two extra seats on a jam-packed South West Trains service with his muddy bike.

While the man took 40 winks, other passengers were forced to stand after he lay his bike diagonally across a block of four seats on a train service travelling from London on February 18.

One commuter was so annoyed she decided to take a photo of the sleeping cyclist and share it on a Facebook group saying "Don't mind me, I'll stand".

Speaking to Get Surrey about the photo, she said: “I got on at Vauxhall at about 10.45pm and was travelling back to Ashtead.

"The guy was already on there asleep with the bike diagonally across a block of four seats, with the wheels up on the seats.

“The train was quite busy, and I thought it was quite selfish, but was also amused by it and knew it would be perfect to share with like-minded people."

The photo went viral with one person commenting: "I think a person like this is actually looking for a row though and part of the reluctance of other passengers in asking him to move his bike comes from knowing that he's somebody who just doesn't care about etiquette."

Another said: "I imagine he was faking it being asleep, and would've got off in a big huff if even the most mild-mannered person asked him to move."
