rossmg replied to Sam Jeffries's discussion Kangaroo on the Freeway Bike Path"Feral deer I'd imaging, just used an old local Messenger Press paper as a liner and the front page was 'Feral Deer in Urrbrae Park". Not that far away. I'd probably get arrested if I took a weapon strapped to my back…"

snappy_don replied to Sam Jeffries's discussion Kangaroo on the Freeway Bike Path"Add to the warning list:
Joggers with headphones, walkers with dogs on 4-5m long leads, a motor scooter (up near the bollards- he should have a fair idea I didn't approve) and long-board skaters (usually weekends and later in the day)"
Don (Who's lost?) Nairn replied to Sam Jeffries's discussion Kangaroo on the Freeway Bike Path"I have seen kangaroos as well I would think that during the bright part of the day the problem would be less"
Adam Williss replied to Sam Jeffries's discussion Kangaroo on the Freeway Bike Path"Yep...
And koalas, echidnas, deer (so close I could have smacked them with my hand on the ascent), rabbits and foxes.
Dogs being walked without leads are the most dangerous near the top though!"

Gordon Byles replied to Sam Jeffries's discussion Kangaroo on the Freeway Bike Path"Funny thing about those deer is that they don't belong to the deer farm at the Devil's Elbow but no one has deer except them. So where did they come from?"
Sam Jeffries replied to Sam Jeffries's discussion Kangaroo on the Freeway Bike Path"Poor bloke... I'll be taking it a bit easier under the cover of darkness from now on. I'll also keep an eye out for that plaque on the way up tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Sam,
Welcome to Adelaide Cyclists. You might be interested in joining AC group Commuters and, if you cycle in the city, Adelaide BUG. I coordinate four AC groups with emphasis on improving cycling conditions: Adelaide BUG, Prospect BUG, Look For Cyclists and Vote For Cyclists. There is more info in the introduction on each group web page.
Cheers, Heather
