I wonder which rocket scientist thought puttig tents across the bike path at Pinky Flat today was clever. Very tempted to grab a glass of wine as I wheeled through BankSA's marquee!

Theyre a bank..they can do anything they like.

sadly

I would be surprised the Adelaide council doesn't have rules about erecting temporary structures like marquees.

I would have thought that blocking paths ect. would not allowed I suppose the rowers think they have exclusive use at times.

I think it was some sort of food festival.

It was a festival -- saw some of the preparation on Friday. Recommend that you contact ACC which is supportive of cycling, and would not like obstructions across the shared path of the River Torrens Linear Park. Let me know how your complaint goes.

Yeah, that's nonsense. Quit a bit of traffic on that path, must have inconvenienced many.

It was set up for the end of the Greenbelt half marathon.I did not see how bad the obstruction was but i suspect that it was done ( whilst not ideal ) to maybe slow bikes down as there would have been a lot of runners on the track and signs as we as cyclist know don't always work.

Yes, no one should ever obstruct cyclists' free movement on a shared path. Stopping cars for a cycling event, on the other hand, is, of course, fine.

It was a marquee for drinking in, right across the shared path, causing a bottleneck for all traffic along there, which has so much to do with the TDU.

Elder Park is for everyone. Just because we have the privilege of being able to ride our bikes through there doesn't mean no one else can enjoy it - and they didn't stop us from using it, by the way. It's called sharing.

Sorry I disagree, They did stop us from using it as you could barely ride through and they were not sharing they were preventing us from being able to share. That's called selfish hogging. I wasn't asking for complete domination of cyclists just being able to move through easily. 

No tent but there was a woman doing tai chi in the middle of the bike path on the Torrens on Saturday. With her eyes shut.
