Dan Walker has said he felt “safe and secure” after getting back on his bike following a serious crash last month.The 46-year-old former BBC Breakfast presenter previously revealed he had been knocked off his bike by a car by sharing a series shocking of images of his bloodied and bruised face on social media in February.

Dan, who left the BBC to join 5 News on Channel 5 News last year, shared an image of himself riding his bike in London on Monday and wrote: “Got back on the bike for first time today and felt safe and secure. “New bike, new helmet… just disappointed I didn’t manage to match the socks to the frame.” He could be seen on the yellow-framed bike, whilst dressed in a blue top, black trousers and orange socks.

A determined smile was on his face and he wore a helmet on his head as he embarked on his bike ride, but many of his followers questioned why he didn't also have a high-vis jacket on.

One fan commented: "Errr - Dan - where is your hi-viz??? Be safe, be seen.." whilst another wrote: "I recommend a hi vis jacket." A third wrote: "Not being funny get a high viz vest...it helps...people will see you better...I nearly got knocked off twice b4 I got one..." Dan was involved in the crash in Sheffield, where he lives, on February 20.
