Adelaide City Council is making 40 bikes available for city workers, tourists and presumably others – free for the first two hours.
As an avid bike rider, I say what a great idea.
I have my own bike for getting about Brisbane, and have often wondered about ‘packing it’ for my visits to Melbourne.

Dear Jennifer,
An excellent idea!! I have tried it a couple of times, and using the airporter bus to get me into town. Getting to St Kilda is a bit of a strain as the Hotel busses tend not to go that way and the cabs don’t have a market from transhipping bike commuters anytime (or after drinks). The alternative is to hire a bike (St Kilda Cycles) if you are going to be there for a while.
Now if only we could get then NSW railways to allow more bikes on trains and stop being so stupid over their packaging policies.
Happy cycling,
Col
