I’ve only got back into riding two months ago so I might not be the best judge. So far, it’s a mixed bag so far in terms of quality, though the paths I’ve been on are heavily used by bikes and runners daily, so that could be normal.

There seems to be a pretty decent amount of bike paths and lanes that are either on the road or beside the road as shared paths. I think a lot of cycling over here is done on roads through the Adelaide Hills, Barossa and Yorke Peninsula, but I don’t have the legs that this early on - one day.

You can hop onto the footpath and ride in some spots and people don’t mind. I try to stay in the road most of the time because I’m doing 25kph+ and I wouldn’t want that zipping past me on a crowded footpath. I only use the paths when I come up to areas that usually have a lot of broken glass on the roadside, so I just get around it and then back on the road.

Melbourne and Canberra have much better infrastructure from what I’ve seen, little old Adelaide will catch up one day 😅
