On the pre-news for this afternoon that an Adelaide cyclist crushed by a tree. No more detail.
Please re-think if necessary to cycle in some areas where many trees that could be downed by these winds.
I cycled perhaps 6km today in the suburbs. As I turned south to cycle home, noticed the effect of the strong westerly winds and changed down a gear.
