"David are you talking about bike lanes or bike paths. The bike lanes on both Port Road and Anzac Highway are still there. The off-road central-median bike paths, which were never properly completed on either road have largely disappeared. For very…"

"OK, I've done a bit of playing with Google Maps and I now get THIS! I looks like quite a nice ride actually.  Apart from Military Rd, all the major roads have bike lanes and there are lots of back streets and heaps of bike paths I…"

"No problems Sam.  I agree that having a motor of any sort makes life more complicated.  My ebike has a faulty battery and I plan to sell it as the process of fixing it is very fiddly and/or expensive! My bike is aluminium - and much…"

"You're probably correct Terry (I haven't managed to watch the trailer in it's latest form yet). I think electric assist (and in fact any type of high-tech augmentation of bicycle use, including advanced materials technology such as…"
