Video of typical commuter hazards

With all the publicity on cycling in the Advertiser over the past couple of days, I felt inspired to video some of my ride to work. I have published a clip on youtube showing the way in which one is forced to bolt for your life from where the bike lane ends at the Shudholz/NE road intersection to the next segment of bicycle lane several hundred meters along NE Road. Check it out at… Continue

Thursday 6.15 pm from Henley Beach

Thursday, 6.15 pm: 30 kilometres from Henley Beach Square (near the jetty). Two rides leave from there. One is a bit slower and cruisier (sub 30 kph, I think - I've never been on this ride) while the other is faster (it has varied when I've been there from a 32 kph average to a 35 kph average). Last time had a few old Trojans (one on a track bike) that kept the pace fairly high. Nice little sprint finish back toward Henley Square. With a tail wind behind you, you can shoot along the foreshore… Continue

In common with all of these life changing events is the need for confidence and communication.

Make your voice count // Victoria Square cycling hub proposal

I just got wind of a proposal for the Victoria Square redevelopment to include a cycling hub! with lock-up facilities, lockers, potential showers & maybe even a snack bar / cafe area.

This would be an amazing development and perhaps lead to loads of other bike-centric changes to the city.

How can you help support the cycling hub proposal? Fill in this quick survey and get your voice heard.…

New bike paths announcement

There is an item on the AdelaideNow site today about some supposedly new (it's hard to tell noways with governments always re announcing good news) funding for bike paths. Anyway you might want to comment and take the opportunity to lobby for other areas to be fixed. The story can be found at
