You might be surprised about Adelaide. Don't write it off. I personally really like it. It's not as show pony as melbourne and syds. You have to go looking for stuff. But, when you do, you'll find a significant underground bike culture (there's at least four different freakbiking groups and a burgeoning fixed alley cat thing happening and lots of penny riders) plus cool urban caving, as well as great climbing and lovely beaches.. and did i mention the food and beer! And it's a very easy city to ride around with the hills offering good hill climb training and mountain biking.
About flying with a bike. If you've booked with Virgin, you're set. They don't advertise it, but they allow one free piece of sporting equipment in addition to your 20kgcheck-in and 10kg carry-on. Sweet. Otherwise you are stuck trying to wangle a bike into your normal check in allowance.
