A video uploaded to the Dash Cam Owners Australia Facebook page shows a cyclist riding into oncoming rush hour traffic on Melbourne’s Montague Street before veering across three busy lanes to do a U-turn.
9 News reports that the incident occurred on Monday at 4.46pm. You can watch the video here.
December 2016 Google StreetView images reveal a faded painted cycle lane where the cyclist ends up.
It is one hell of a junction to be navigating by bike though, even if he was most likely just crossing the road rather than riding against the flow of traffic for any length of time.
Perhaps he was of the opinion that his hi-vis jacket rendered him somehow invincible.

I agree, from the editing, that the video seems to be mostly about the dashcam owner’s musical taste. Let’s just tick off the cyclist who didn’t signal before leaving the bike lane. Full marks to the drivers who let the cyclist cross.

….thought I’d seen it before and wasn’t really that interesting then – regularly drive thru that junction – well when i say drive I mean queue it might not be obvious in the video but there is a set of traffic lights only a few metres further down the road and some complex lane swopping means speeds are low
