What this guy did next used up one of his spare lives:
No headcheck, no looking, just veers out into the vehicle lane. That car misses him by the skin of his teeth. That's my groan of "oh my Gods I can't believe he did that" you hear in the video. There were no cars behind this one so it was safe to overtake merely a split second later. If the car had hit him I know whose side I would have been on, and it is not the cyclist's.
Further up at the next intersection he then decides he doesn't want to wait for a traffic light to turn left so hops onto the footpath at Albert and Lansdowne although I won't penalise him for that as it is a shared path where bicycles are allowed there. Not sure the shared path extends along the footpath down Lansdowne Street. He gets to Cathedral Place where I turn right (now behind me because me waiting for the traffic lights and riding on the road was actually faster than his little manoeuvre), he hops back onto the road and crosses two lanes to turn right behind me.
He's then behind me until he turns left at Collins and Elizabeth (again by riding onto the footpath).
If you know this guy please tell him to invest in a rearvision mirror as clearly his head cannot turn adequately enough to do head checks.
