WATCH: Cyclist rides into busy Melbourne underground tunnel

A cyclist has ridden straight into a busy underground tunnel in the heart of Melbourne unaware of the danger her was putting himself in.

Citylink cameras captured footage of the rogue rider going into the Burnley Tunnel and later walking his bike along the side of one of the lanes.

The heavy traffic in the tunnel, including large trucks, changed lanes to avoid him.

Large warning signs at the entrance of the tunnel failed to deter the wayward cyclist, who does not speak English and did not realise he was breaking the law.
