Yeah! They replaced my great runway ramp with stairs in their recent upgrade. And the fence! Surely it'd be better to run into the water than to smack into a fence.

I think Sheldon Brown talks about them being 125mm - http://sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html I think I need to get the wheel services and use some spacers. It sort of fits and it is from the same era. I do have a newer wheel that could work so…

What it will do is give councils one more excuse for not doing anything or even worse winding back and shutting down their feeble attempts at cycling infrastructure already attempted. Just look at the Linear Park now all you get to see along a lot o…

On further inspection, the green left turn arrow facing traffic coming out of the cemetery goes off at the same time as the right turn arrow facing traffic facing traffic travelling west out of Sturt Street. This means that cars turning right out of…

FAR OUT!! This has implications for South Australian bike paths such as the Unley Bicycle Route between Goodwood Rd and King WIlliam Rd. I previously mentioned how poor this path was in the dark, but the Judge's assertion that the path should have…

Sorry to hear you're having a bit of a tough time of it Gus. The latest Aus Cyclists magazine had quite a good article about bicycle fit ... I've been meaning to check it out. For me the bugbear at the moment is indoor soccer rather than cycling .…

You can buy an air horn that runs off compressed air. Occupies one of your cages, and sounds like a truck horn. Scares the bejeezers out of people, but again, not much use in an emergency braking situation.

I have often thought that it should be possible to purchase a few cheap components from an electronics shop to make a light weight, very noisy audible warning device, preferably one that doesn't sound like a smoke alarm but it should be at least as…

Must be force of habit for me now, but I will always wear bike shorts or knicks everytime I ride, and on every bike I ride, yep, even on the chopper. I also do about half an hour of stretches before every ride, even the 17km commute to work, and wi…

I might be well out of order - but are we a group that is going to allow advertising access to this site for nothing more than promoting a company's commercial interests. Perhaps something more along the lines of an overall sponsorship of adelaide c…

Ring my bell

I find it quite remarkable that so many on this group dismiss bells on bicycles. There may be occaisions when it is too dangerous to move your hand to ring the bell but perhaps the bell should be fitted in a place closer to your hand or perhaps you are not riding in a safe manner. We complain about motorists breaking the law who in turn justify their actions and decry all cyclists but cyclists seem to think it's perfectly understandable to break the law and disregard simple courtesies.

Life post cars...

I just want to preface this blog by saying that we have not had a car since June last year when our last car was taken off the road.

From time to time on a day off I get to sit in bed and enjoy a cup of Jo with my wife. We sometimes read and sometimes surf the web and always chat about what we are into at the time. This morning Jewlz reminded me that we were supposed to be heading to Croydon Park (we live in Mitchell Park) for a friend's birthday party this afternoon and so I started th… Continue

Project: Apollo bicycle build


I picked up an old fixed fork Apollo mountain bike over a year ago. It was in 'electric green'. I've stripped it down and resprayed it 'volcanic orange'. I don't know what the plan is from here. I could just put it back togeher, it could become a fixed gear or I might even turn it into an Xtracycle cargo bike... or just give it to Bikes for Refugees.Lessons learnt so far. Don't re
