Crafers! Every ride starts with a downhill run from my house.

ROFL, I would say the opposite, every ride from my place starts off up hill.

Oh it's definitely Port Noarlunga - that's where the SSRC rides start from! Head for the hills or the flat or the sea, all within easy riding distance.

You have no idea what suburb you are in once you've left Pt Noarlunga anyway so your opinion isn't worth a great deal.

I have no idea where I am at all, never mind suburb, and yet all you SSRC riders still follow me!

Great question.
Best - Eastwood - Pretty, decent roads.
Worst - Unley - The worst roads I have come across!

Interesting, I love unley's backstreets. Especially east of unley road. Are you talking about road riding on main roads? I would choose unleys backstreets for sure, mainly because they have eliminated a lot of rat running.
I'm pretty happy with stirling for the more fitness orientated rides. Turn left at the end of my street and its belair, upper sturt, piccadilly crafers or mt lofty turn right and i'm on my way to longwood, crafers, aldgate, echunga, handorf etc.

Well surely it depends on what you are looking for. I live in Woodville and I think its a great location for a cyclist. I'm near a train station which can take me to any other destination if I'm seeking hill rides- which I don't really :p The actual suburb itself is fairly close to the linear park route to the city and to the beach. Its nice and flat and good for both leisure and commuting.

Good point. The question is very broad. I like cycling through Eastwood for the aforementioned reasons. I also like riding through the city as the infrastructure is better than anywhere else - and it's where I conduct the majority of my business.

Oops, sent that early. But the Linear Park track, which passes through heaps of 'burbs is great too. As is Waterfall Gully Road; again, cos its purdy.

I didn't mention the city, because, strictly, it is not a "suburb". It is the urbs. (Sub urbem - adjacent to, or under the control of, the urbs - city.) I do not live in any suburb.
