I just can't speak for Sydney. They have a bad reputation there, and the law is stacked against you. Cycling offences like missing helmet have crazy high fines, and are policed as well.
The state government is vocally very anti cyclist.
Adelaide, where I live, is a great place for cycling, and while you get the same shit you encounter on british country lanes the state's road rules has been tweaked towards more safety recently.
There is a min distance passing law, and it's legal to ride on the sidewalk now, given that it's done with care.
Plus we got great hills here, and many very accessible climbs within 15-20 mins from the city centre.
So come over here next time and I'll happily show you around!
