"No, I haven't ridden south of Saints Road. But I think you would agree there are also no bike lanes through Elizabeth on the Main North Road."

"No bike lanes on the Main North Road through Elizabeth Michael. I know there is bike lane from the Old Spot heading south. But does it go all the way to Gepps Cross? What about heading north? Is there a bike lane along the Philip Highway?"

"No where near as bad as some people make it out to be. In fact I reckon its probably one of the smoothest surfaces to ride on. Up there with the lower half of Montacute Road IMO. I have been riding it for about 11 months now and not had a puncture.…"

Hi John , the possibility of getting lost was on my mind ,but I thought if I ride around long enough surely I will see a sign to somewhere familiar .Always good having a chat mate your full of interesting stories .And that photo is of somewhere in the Barossa ,I got it off the computer ,,it's beautiful hey

John, thanks. I have free to air TV so explains why I have not heard of the search. Even then, I get tired of going through several (not all) channels to find mainly rubbish. Then there are the times when I check even less channels, a program ends, and I try channels again. Only to find a better program finishing, like last week a 70s film of 'The Go Between' with known names like Julie Christie.

John, I had not heard of ALL CHANNELS search. Have just gone through channels 1 to 99, and nothing called STUDIO or Queen music.

Hey John, As much as I'd like to, I can't take ALL the credit for the video. Frank suggested I post the "scenic" bit starting from where I passed him. And...when I jokingly asked him if he had any music request to accompany the video, guess what??? He said Mama Cass!! Glad you liked it! Take care, see you tomorrow week!

John, today I added more info for you at http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/forum/topics/very-sore-and-very-lucky
