Today on the way to track on Camberwell Rd and Wyndham Rd junction I was cycling on Camberwell Rd, southbound. When I was in the middle of the junction a 7 seater from another direction at speed took a right turn, right in front of me - I had to quickly steer left to avoid being t-boned and leaned with my right shoulder against the side of said car. The driver stopped and was very apologetic.
If I approached the junction a second faster or slower the outcome would all be a lot different.
On the way back from track on same road I almost crashed in to someone riding a bmx on the wrong side of the road in the dark with no lights, while being on the phone, a minute later pedestrian in the dark, right in the middle of the road.
Camberwell Rd = shithole.
