They do that in London. Pick up, drop off in designated locations. Handy when you don't have a ******* clue about bus routes or where the nearest Tube station is.Booney wrote:Personally I think they should have "bases" at major shopping centres etc where they could be locked up or assembled in one place and if you don't return them there you keep getting charged daily until they are returned. At least that way I'd think only responsible people would use them.

Because we have no concept of the importance of tourism, that's why we're not high on the international radar for preferred holiday destinations.

Silly comment, everywhere is "too bogan" for them. Every city has the same problem with them, not just Adelaide.
They're a great idea, there's been a few floating around our area that I've used to go in and out the Port a couple of times, pity the moron's who get off chucking them in the river or a tree ruin it for people who see their use.

He was offering up the Adelaide business as a going concern. They employed a dozen people to go pick up the outliers when someone takes them to far away from the mainstream. They are on bikes with a bike trailer attached. He said the only issues they had could be identified down to a few individuals.

Life's too short, especially to get upset at someone just going about their day on a bike. Never understood the angst towards pedopolites.

I have to agree with you there, definitely the worst road for cyclists with a NFG attitude.

Try Military Road between Semaphore and Grange on a Sunday morning.
At least 5 abreast. swinging out into the left lane past the Aquatic Centre because there are cars parked off the road.
I'm always extremely courteous to them, give them plenty of room, but its still frustrating that I have to avoid hitting them in the far left lane when they have a bike lane the whole way.

Fair chance the riders near semaphore road are Power supporters so mow em down!
Come to think of it the riders near Grange road are probably Crows supporters too so mow them down as well!
