Since this has happened for a few other councils... has anyone done any research on the candidates for Marion Council elections, regarding their policies on cycling?Continue
Fooled by the weather radar
Started this discussion. Last reply by Jilden May 30. 10 Replies 0 Likes
Tonight a glance at weather radar looked all clear (very much like this screenshot from after I got home). But it had me fooled, and it steadily drizzled pretty well all the way home. So does rain…Continue
Is it legal to ride on the footpath when there is a bicycle lane present?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Keith Apr 24. 4 Replies 0 Likes
The question says it all! Today a police officer cautioned me. (He said this applies to footpaths, not shared paths).I tried to politely say that isn't how I'd seen the law presented, but I let it go…Continue

Sadly, there was another cycling fatality yesterday, this time near Mount Gambier. That is the 3rd on SA roads this year (a 4th one, a death in the parklands, does not appear to be n the road…Continue

Peter B replied to Ian Radbone, BISA committee's discussion Riding on North Terrace"also what's the deal with the buses doing a hook turn on KW to N tce? no trams use the intersection when the lights are green so why not just wait on the tram lines! it makes no sense to hold up left turn cars for absolutely no reason.

Peter B replied to Ian Radbone, BISA committee's discussion Riding on North Terrace"I regularly put my bicycle on the train the mornings, then ride from Adelaide train station to Kintore Avenue. I always use the footpath between KW Street and Kintore Avenue. The footpath is nice and wide, and even during rush hour it isn't too…"
Peter B replied to Jim Saunders's discussion South Road Bicycle Lanes??"Wow, with all that space between the footpath and the road, surely something more could be done. For instance, even a ramp up onto the footpath would be better than nothing. But there should easily be room for the bike lane to continue straight…"
Peter B replied to Nathan Adams's discussion Helmets that meet AS/NZA 2063 standard, but don't have sticker. OK?"Can you quote the relevant phrase or sentence? Maybe I'm missing something, I can't see any mention of the sticker there. (And I think Nathan couldn't find it either, hence his question)."

Peter B replied to Savvas's discussion Rising cyclist death toll is mainly due to drivers..."I pretty well agree with all of that, Mark. Infrastructure might take a while, but once it's there it's there. I'd say it's actually quicker and easier than trying to change attitudes (though of course I would like attitudes to…"
Peter B replied to Savvas's discussion Rising cyclist death toll is mainly due to drivers..."I have two problems with that article. First, cyclist deaths are not surging; they are more or less constant. A statistical anomaly is being mistaken for a trend.
Second, more significantly, I found their dismissal of infrastructure very…"
Peter B replied to Equal2lance2's discussion Is it a Bike lane?"It's in the Australian Road Rules (that the word "LANE" can be painted on the road) so I suspect it's been law ever since the ARR were adopted. It's certainly there in my downloaded version of the SA rules in 2014."
Peter B replied to Equal2lance2's discussion Western parklands path open again"I tried it the last 2 days. It's not so much that it's longer, but it's more up and down: from West Terrace / Port Road down the the train line, and up again. Whereas just following West Terrace is nice and flat.
So sticking to West…"

Peter B replied to Savvas's discussion Passing etiquette and safety on the Linear Path..."Two comments in response:
First, at the very least personalise the message. Each of us as individuals, can't expect to be treated well as riders on the road, if we do not treat pedestrians well on shared paths.
Second, when a group of 4 riders…"
Peter B replied to Equal2lance2's discussion Western parklands path open again"3 stop lights if you count the cemetery entrance. That's the one which bothers me the most, because 99% of people ride through. So I've got the unenviable choice between riding through and risking a fine, or stopping and potentially being…"
Peter B replied to Equal2lance2's discussion Western parklands path open again"Thanks for letting us know. I might give it a try. I usually follow the West Terrace bikeway, and this is longer, but there are fewer traffic lights. "
Peter B replied to Savvas's discussion Passing etiquette and safety on the Linear Path...""Longer to activate" is an issue in an emergency, but coming up behind a pedestrian is not an emergency, in fact one usually has several seconds to choose exactly the time to ring. And for me at least, the bell has 3 advantages over my…"
