"This may have already been answered, but how does this work in the Hills where there is no meter? If I was it give cyclists on the Adelaide to Mannum or Gorge roads, I would be crossing the line and into the lane of oncoming traffic?"

I'm about to return to work in the city after what seems like several years off. I want to ride my bike to and from work, which would mean Gorge Rd from about Lobethal. How difficult is this road? I drive up and down it a lot and it looks very…Continue

So I have spent the last week scrambling to get a ticket for tomorrow's ride and managed to pick one up. Since then my family seems to have fallen to pieces. My daughter spent Monday night in hospital with what turned out to be gastro and only…Continue
Cyclist down?

LINAR replied to Jilden's discussion Amy Gillet bikeway extension to Mt Torrens"Who thinks like this? Just about every single motorist driving along the OV Rd who is slowed down by cyclists!

LINAR replied to Jilden's discussion Amy Gillet bikeway extension to Mt Torrens"I think the priority will be for the trail to be completed right through to Mt Pleasant.

LINAR replied to Roger Gurr's discussion Torrens Linear Park"I asked previously about riding into work via Gorge Rd and someone suggested that I steer well clear of Linear Park once I hit the bottom of Gorge Rd.

Hi Karen,
I finish work at around 3 or 3.30 in the city and was going to then go pick up my package from the TDU village in Victoria Square. So could meet you somewhere after that?
The entry was a full distance members entry, so was $135, but happy to negotiate...
And, I think I ordered a small jersey.
Cheers,
Deb Gent
