Melbourne cyclist (Dave Candy via Facebook).jpgVideo: Melbourne cyclist does U-turn across three lanes of oncoming traffic
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.
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

Well what is that way? Are you suggesting that every bend on every descent can be barriered over a 180km mountain stage?

Hopefully it'll still be allowed for recreational use.

Churnalism nowadays - mostly clickbait stuff and regurgitation in the local rags/comics and beyond.

I'm glad the barrier wasn't damaged. Whew, close one there! \s

whoops false accusation on recycled news - guess the recent comments must have pushed it back to the top of news ... guess best forgotten
both channel 9 and road cc recycling cycling old news?
http://road.cc/content/news/228864-video-melbourne-cyclist-does-u-turn-a... a story dated Sept 6 2017
....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
Um, this story is dated Sept 6 2017... and the link you've put is to this story.
You've seen it before because you've clicked on the same story twice.
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.
Not all drivers are shit.
Do people really listen to music like that?
Boring, try harder Buzzf... I mean Road.cc.
