Do you want a piece of Adelaide cycling history?
For those of you who don't know, back in the late 80's about 20 - 30 of these bikes were made in a backyard workshop in Adelaide, many of them are still on the road today (I have one that I was riding before I got my Xtracycle). They were so far ahead of their time that we are only now seeing mass market manufactures bringing similar bikes to market.

Cycle Touring Kangaroo Island
Myself and Jeremy have a bit of a passion for getting on our bikes and going places, and one of the places on our list for quite a while has been Kangaroo Island. Just by virtue of being an island it is a romantic destination, and the challenge of the rough roads only added to its appeal. Pristine environment, isolated bays, wildlife and great local food and wine – how could we resist! So we set aside 3 days over the Australia Day weekend, and with a minimum of planning, lef… Continue

1st Adelaide Cyclists - BISA Podast.
I started this online community nearly 12 months ago. At the time, after the buzz of the 2009 TDU, I considered starting a blog with possibly a podcast as a part of that but reconsidered the idea of community and started Adelaide Cyclists as a social network (inspired by Melbourne and Sydney Cyclist). But podcasting was always on the agenda and now after a year, as a co-production with the Bicycle Institute of SA, ou… Continue

When night turns to day.. a busy nightspot, common for alcohol fuelled revelry and violence has been forced to close and in its vacant state taken over the the Sydney City Council and is to be turned into a cycling hub.
The area is to have lock-ups, showering facilities, bike hire, it will over cycling tours and have a bike shop and repair service.
