Female cyclist OWNED these cat callers, and we have a new HERO

Women who haven't been on the receiving end of catcalls are few and far between, and it's safe to say the widely-spread phenomenon is utterly reviled in most societies.

And yet that doesn't stop people engaging in the despicable act on a daily basis.

So, it's no surprise that footage which showed a catcaller getting his just desserts this week has taken social media by storm.

Filmed by a motorcyclist, a female cyclist can be seen fending off sexist remarks and unwanted leers from a man in the passenger seat of a white van who she happened to stop beside in traffic.

After enduring an intense exchange with a stranger, the lights changed and the cyclist was in a position to follow the van until it stopped again moments later.

And we'll let our new idol take it from here…
