"Interesting quote from the above article, referring to US cities
"Bikes are one of the four commodities of the street — cash, drugs, sex, and bikes… You can virtually exchange one for another.”"
"I do agree with the summary at the end. Bike thieves are assholes!"
Simon Lownsborough replied to Matty C's discussion What Happens to Stolen Bicycles?"It would be nice if bike theft was taken more seriously than it appears to be. Quite apart from the cost, an increasing number of people are using bikes as their main transport and means of getting to work. The cost benefits in health and the…"

Matty C replied to David Bowler's discussion Local Bike shop with earlier opening, later closing hours."I don't know how local they are for you, but the Giant bike store in Hindmarsh Square open early and close late (from memory, they open at 8 and close at 6ish)."

Hi Matty,
Welcome to Adelaide BUG. Feel free to post on the web page or discuss cycling hazards. Recently Light Square was improved with some green coloured bike lane sections on the SE corner. Today ACC told me that they will soon trial 'vibraline' to delineate some bicycle lanes. It vibrates and makes a noise when cars drive over it, to remind drivers that they have crossed into a bicycle lane.
Cheers, Heather

Hi Matty,
Yes, I found AC and its software confusing when I first joined. Keep logging onto AC and you will soon get the hang of it.
On the AC hub, middle column, about halfway down, is the heading Groups. Look under this small area and to the right, to click on View All Groups. Then look for Adelaide BUG and go to its page. At the top is an intro to what the group is about. Look to the right, near the top, to sign up as an Adelaide BUG member. Then you can post on Adelaide BUG.
On the Adelaide BUG page, posted in the Comment Wall that is in the middle column, halfway down the page. An invite to Adelaide BUG members to attend on Saturday 3-Sep-2011 a BYO picnic for Prospect BUG’s second anniversary. I coordinate both groups.
If my instructions are unclear, please contact me again.
Cheers, Heather

Hi Matty,
Welcome to Adelaide Cyclists. You might be interested in the AC group Commuters and, if you cycle in the city, Adelaide BUG which I coordinate.
