0: N.E. Rd Winsor Gardens
Heritage listed hotel sticks right out into the middle of road with bike lane terminating about 50m beforehand. Absolutely no consideration is given for cyclists who have no choice but to try and squeeze past in the left hand car lane and you hope a large vehicle does not try to go past at the same time. I think that the best solution is to remove the right turn on the opposite side of the road for the road space. If necessary, they can provide a right turn just about anywhere else along NE rd to make up for it.

1: John Rice Ave heading East
When Heading East on the section of John Rice Ave past Holden Car Factory, the bitumen has extensive corrugation along which is a very busy section of road.
Any cyclist using this stretch in peak hour takes their life in their own hands.

2: Salisbury Rd meets Port Wakefield Rd
Both North and South, bike lanes encourage riders to take Port Wakefield Road. No safe crossing on to the Salisbury Hwy bridge. At the bottom of the bridge, riders need to cross a lane of merging traffic to get back to the bike lane. Riders regularly find themselves in no-mans land between lanes of merging traffic.

There appears to be recent work to widen the shoulder from Montague Road to Kings Road. The shoulder is not a marked cycle lane and is very rough.

4: Hackney Rd (O-bahn re-entry)
Heading south along Hackney Rd where the O-Bahn pops out. If you are riding in the bike lane you have to cut across the buses to continue on bike lane you are then squashed against the curb just before you hit the Torrens bridge

5: Payneham & OG Rds
Heading NE on Payneham Rd the bike lane just ends before becoming the left turn lane.
After the lights you need to watch out for the merging traffic lane carrying cars from OG Rd

6: Henley Beach Rd & May Tce
Along Henley Beach Rd the bike lane is thin and often blocked by parked cars, and the traffic lights to turn right into May Terrace don't respond to the weight of cyclists to get the green turning arrow. If you don't turn there and try to continue along Henley Beach Rd there's a corner with poor visibilty where the 2 lanes narrow and cars tend to travel quickly.

7: Unley Rd and Frederick St
At this spot, and further south on Unley Rd, the lane disappears and the traffic flow on Unley Rd is intense in the afternoon peak hour.

8: Osmond Tce at Kensington Rd
Where a car parking lane that is too narrow to accommodate parked cars, so they spill into the bike lane.
Having brought this to the attention of the Council (Norwood, Payneham and St Peters), the solution that is being proposed is not the widening of the road (understandable due to the costs) or the removal of the parking at the site in question. No, rather the plan is to remove the bike lane completely.

9: NE Rd from Shudhotz Rd
From Shudholz Rd, the first 300m along NE Rd as you head towards the city gets very hairy during morning peak hour as there is no bike lane and 3 lanes of traffic with the left lane inadequate width to safely accomodate a car and bicycle. I have bolt along here to the relative safety of a section of bicycle lane and try and flap around to keep cars from trying to squeeze passed on the inside lane

10: Port Rd & George St
A cyclist travelling south from Port Road to East Tce is required leave the bike way & cross 2 lanes to ride down the centre of the road to the traffic lights. Pulling over to the left and waiting for a break in the traffic puts the cyclist in a blind spot on the bend. I fear this is going to get worse when the tram starts using this bend as well

11: Franklin Street - suicide
Franklin St & Morphett St. Two lanes of cars enter the intersection but 100 metres after the intersection the bike lane swings into the middle of the road to make it around angle parked cars. Usually the cars just drive straight over the bike lane not seeing it. 15 secs after the lights turn green in rush hour, this spot is very "special"

Greenhill Rd travelling East, the cycle lane is crossed by double vehicle lanes turning left, often at speed. After dark its very scary!

14: Freeway at old toll booths
I can never understand that cyclists have to cross over 6 lanes of the Freeway to cross from the cycle path to join the Freeway traffic flow southbound

15: Crafers to Mt Lofty summit
Mt Lofty Summit Road above Crafers.about 2.5km. Although the road is comfortably wide for a major peloton sized bike lane, because of poor road surface, bikes with weary riders, are forced to use the highway with many cars buzzing past at well over 80km.

Bike Lane just ends. In 100m a large tree juts out. Bike lane restarts just after that.

22: Anzac Hwy NE bound bike lane
Large pot hole/wheel trap in bitumen right across bike lane right on the corner of Everard and Anzac. Riders must move out into the car lane to avoid it

23: Right hand turn from Sth Rd to Anzac Hwy
The left hand lane here is available for right turn and straight ahead for cars/buses. Cyclists turning right are in danger of being run over by vehicles going straight. Needs a big green painted cycle "square" at the front of the lane to allow cyclists to position themselves in front of cars.

24: Bike lane disappears
No continuation of bike lane across the junction with Greenhill/Richmond Rd. The outside lane narrows forcing cars and bikes into dangerous proximity. This outside lane for cars needs to be removed altogther and the bike lane continued across the intersection until the start of the off-road bike path in the parklands

25: Torrens road - city bound
There is a lane for vehicles turning left onto Fitzroy Tce inside of the bike lane. This exposes the cyclist to a hundred metres or more of vehicles cutting across the bike lane. I hit from the rear by a car while I was in the bike lane and will no longer use this route during morning traffic. It is a poorly placed bike lane exposing cyclists to unneccessary danger.

26: Torrens road - travelling West
The road is narrow for this section of Torrens road and there is no bike lane. The lane ends at David Tce and resumes after the Kilkenny Rd intersection

27: Cnr Portrush Road and Nora St
The (newly installed) bicycle lane ends as the road narrows, creating a pinch point where the cyclist must merge with fast moving traffic on Portrush Road. I have had several close calls at this point.

28: Payneham Rd & Lambert Rd
Heading towards city bike lane ends and car lanes swing left to allow room for a right turn lane for the lights. In peak hour, cars creep out of Llandower.

29: Payneham Rd & Stephen Tce
Heading towards city: Bike lane disappears just after Ann St. There is some room to move left going through the intersection but then to remerge with traffic, you need to get around a drain just after the corner.

When riding down Mann Rd and you pass Melbourne St. There are 2 lanes of traffic merging to the left of you. Can be extremely dangerous. Take caution

31: Fullarton Rd
Peak hour traffic in the northbound lane when the drivers feel that they should have 2 lanes when it is clearly marked as 1 and even has a sign informing that the 2 lanes merge. This leaves little to no room for cyclists.

34: North Tce, Kent Town
Two narrow lanes for traffic. If the government want to underground the powerlines this would make room for cycle lanes. Maybe I should just travel along Rundle St instead

35: Payneham Road
Watch out during morning peak hour!
As cars bank up in the city-bound lanes before the Stephens Tce intersection, they leave gaps for cars to turn across Payneham Road into side streets. These right turners don't usually watch for bikes.
Be wary of any gaps in stationary traffic!

41: Glynburn Road and Waterfall Tce roundabout
I've seen two cyclists, over the last couple of years, hit here. Cars travelling north on Glynburn Road don't stop for cyclists coming out of Waterfall Tce.
Today I was knocked off too. Travelling west from Waterfall Tce to Russell Ave. I braked hard, swerved as much as possible out of the way, tried to steer out of it, while yelling twice and the car kept coming. Hit my back wheel and sent me flying into Russell Ave.
The lead in to the roundabout needs a redesign so that cars have to slow when heading north. At the moment the roundabout is almost straight through and way too easy for an inattentive driver to hit cyclists. It's now three people and that's only the ones (including me) I've seen. And this (in my case) is with bright exposure flashing front light on - pretty hard to miss seeing me!
