Cameras...
5 June 2009 i recorded a ride from Unley to Glenelg, and captures 5 cyclist issues in one ride!
The first was a red light runner (click to view) but my camera did not capture the rego number.
Black Mercedes... What can you say?
A distraction from the original post, but if you are crossing Vic Square daily, please check on THIS HAZARD that i reported to Adelaide Council.

Thanks
When kerbs are being repaired the area has bunting to prevent motorists from the hazard of an open trench.After the concrete is poured, dirt fill is used in the open trench, and the bunting is removed.See This Report on www.roadrepair.blogspot.com .…
A group to encourage cyclists to report traffic advisory signs etc that have been illegally placed in a bike lane or otherwise unnecessarily impede cyclists.
Yes, I have experienced this with buses and trucks, and always listen for loud larger engines. (One cyclist told me that on his country route, the long distance buses have rear engines, so he cannot hear the bus early.) One place to be wary is on Ki…
G'day - if the Department of Transport are showing no interest here, one way to bring up this concern would be to raise it with the current Thinker in Residence Fred Hansen:

Ah, road surfaces...
There are a bunch of people called "Road Authorities".
I suggest they should be cyclists before they qualify as a "Road Authority".
Here are some links to support this notion...

Yes, Killer buses.Many Adelaide buses "Crab" down the road. The back of the bus is more than 100mm closer to the kerb (and cyclist) than the front.Proof...http://rideoutloud.blogspot.com/search/label/Hazard%20-%20Killer%20busThe video shows the driv…

Feel free to join and comment on issues.
Yes. Killer buses.Video evidence has been sent to the Department of Transport twice with no result.Here is a link to a recent video showing the back end of the bus crabbing more than 100mm to the left than the front of the bus. http://rideoutloud.bl…
Bicycle users group from in and around Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre. All welcome from commmuters to MTB, weekenders or roadies!
EDGE OF SHARED PATHS
The edge of some shared paths is very dangerous. Any square edge that is greater than 10mm deep, and extends for more than 1 metre will "trip" a bicycle. Any square edge greater than 20mm is a hazard for pedestrians also.
Pleas…
I have reported the "horrendous surface" to the Dept of Transport Hotline (1800 018 313) on 22 Jan. You can see video footage of the squeeze at Anzac Hwy AND Mooringie Ave here http://roadrepair.blogspot.com/2010/01/hazard-marion-rd-between-tram-lin…
Suspension rack...
I have had two busted rear wheels. Partly my weight, but more so the holes, ruts and bumps that are typical of Adelaide roads. HERE IS one busted wheel.
The suspension takes the shock from impact off the wheel.
I forgot to mention...
The next mini trailer will have the pivot offset, so i can swing the trailer right-around NEXT to the bike. I can fling the pannier on my shoulder and wheel the bike and trailer onto train being only a little wider that just a…
The mini-trailer...
Yeah. I have taken it on the train a couple of times. I am able to grab the trailer and swing it at 90 degrees, so it is easy to get into the train and pack to one side door. Problem is that a couple of stations are on the oppos…
