Seems we have had one improvement from the road works - the bicycle lane on NE now extends a back to the intersection of NE Road and OG RD when heading out of town. We just need to get the other half dozen black spots fixed and more people may see...

Hi Grace, BISA has not 'ignored' the possibility of bike-buses in Adelaide. We haven't tried to 'run' them (and couldn't anyway) but I don't think that's the real challenge. I think the hard bit is figuring out how to encourage bike buses to form ...

Have to also say that I'm starting to see cyclists using mobile phones whilst riding along the roqd. Not safe, and not good for the already poor image that we have for abiding by the road rules.

It is a curious thing. Seeing so many roadies out on the roads every day is great but I can't help thinking that the image these lycra clad go-further, go-faster types portray to someone considering cycling as a means of transport is that you have...

Actually this is interesting on a few levels. It was made by 'veteren' film maker Mike Rubbo who has a long career in Australia making fiction and non fiction films. It's the second time in a couple of days I've seen his name in relation to cyclin...

Tyre recycling

As most members will probably know, scrapped tyres - even bicycle ones - are NOT acceptable for household waste disposal ( aka the wheelie bin). Maybe, like me, you have stockpiled a few in hope of...

So I already blog... can I just link it here?

I like to write about all kinds of different things, but I already blog elsewhere. No sense in doing it twice, so I might just link the two and see if it works....

There and back again, hot weather cycling and a fun commute..

Rode my Specialized P1 AM to work today and what an excellent ride it was!

I don’t often to get to ride a responsive and light bike, mostly riding (through practical necessity) my Xtracycle. While I love this bike, the ride and the handling, the Xtracycle is quite heavy, is built to haul things over long distances, and it is not particularly fast.

The P1 AM on the other hand, is fast and comfortable over long distances while still offering a really fun and responsive ride. On the way to work I… Continue

Has Japan designed the world's best bike shed?

I saw this last week but the Guardian online's Blike Blog (which was also a nice discovery) has featured a video on it.

The computer tagged, theft proof, clutter proof 'mechanical masterpiece'.

I was thinking that while all that stuff is nice it might inspire more to ride their $5k carbon road machines into the city where at the moment because of theft fears they might not.

Conflicting parking signs in bike lanes

Has anyone else noticed how when new bike lanes are put in, existing parking signage which conflicts with the bike lane is not removed? for example the new bike lane along Frome Rd past the Uni still has "No standing between 7am and 7pm". Technically outside these hours cars should not park there as it is still a dedicated bike lane, yet after 7pm, cars park along here as they always have done. Personally I don't have a problem with the cars being there at this time apart from the fact that it m… Continue

A cycling vision for the future of Adelaide

What sort of city do we want Adelaide to be and how do we get there?

Adelaide needs a bicycle culture; Adelaide needs infrastructure that will encourage a bicycle culture. Unfortunately some infrastructure planers will only base infrastructure on past trends and current usage patterns. There is little or no crystal ball gazing, or designing to create a future, not just in terms of infrastructure, but more importantly, the culture that infrastructure would create.

Let us have a little thought e… Continue
