Overall the Adelaide drivers are pretty okay. I feel the 1m passing law has made a difference, but infrastructure wise the place is miles behind. Think a 1 metre wide strip painted bike lane with a sign that says it's a bike lane 7.30am to 9am only.
That said, there are nicely marked back roads with chevrons etc all over the place and you can take a much less hectic route most of the time.
But right now it's TDU cycling carnival here and the world is a very strange place. People from all over the world plus a whole bunch of fair weather riders all group riding the roads that I normally frequent by myself at 6am on a cold morning in July.
Did a beach ride with a smaller group and I think I saw a larger one opposite side that must've been critical mass size.
I gotta say, some people I'd rather not be associated with.
My coach's an ex pro and I first hand witnessed her getting an explanation of the correct rolling turn techniques from some old fat bloke on a dentist chair.
