<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Our CEO, Christian Haag, shares some inside info on where take to your

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Every year, Bike SA is fortunate to meet the many thousands of
interstate and international visitors who hire a bike from us. And as we locals
have heard time and time again, our state’s praises are (with near monotony),
so frequentlysung, “What an amazing place; Everything is just so close – the
beach,hills and those wineries!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At just over an hour and a half from Adelaide, we’re going to take
a look at SA’s most iconic (and first) rail trail </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">experience, the Riesling Trail, which has been ridden on, walked
on and run on since it opened in 1994. Some fast facts: the Riesling Trail starts
in Auburn and travels north past Clare to Barinia, passing through </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Leasingham, Watervale and Sevenhill, all familiar names to South
Aussies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Across Australia, rail trails provide terrific economic benefits
to regional communities and a key ingredient in the Riesling Trail’s success
has been the way local business has supported it from the start. Business
association Clare Valley Winemakers has long seen great benefit from having the
trail meander past their members’ cellar doors. As the name suggests, rail
trails run along disused rail corridors and, as we all know, trains don’t climb
hills, which means trail cyclists don’t have to climb hills either. At little
more than a gentle gradient, anyone can ride or walk comfortably along the
Riesling Trail – from kids to grandparents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And there is no better place to snake through the bush than in the
Clare Valley – that “boutique little beauty of a place” as one of our European visitors
once described it. All up, the trail is a little over 30km of unique bushland,
rolling vineyards, some of the best wines in the state and quality local
produce that will have you rolling up (literally) time and time again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Two experiences really stand out when you jump on a bike in this
area. First is the “slow-move” as we call it. When you dawdle along at 15km/h, the
aroma of the countryside awakens the senses – at certain times of the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">year, it’s almost pungent. Second, the locals. They have a strong
sense of pride in what they do and they really want to share their stories. It’s
a camaraderie that deepens your holiday experience immeasurably. The trail is
open all year round, but there’s no better time to visit than during Vintage,
which is between late February and early April. Mid May sees the hosting of the
Clare Gourmet Weekend, which this year celebrated 30 years of showcasing the
regions’ outstanding local produce along with the more than 30 local wineries.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course, it’s not only about food and wine. If you’re looking
for more places to ride, there are a number of quiet </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">back-road loop trails that will guide you through the surrounding
countryside. Or for a complete change of pace, jump on your road bike for the
40km to Burra then reward yourself with an authentic Cornish pasty. South of Auburn
is the region’s younger sibling, the Rattler Trail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This 19km route will take you through farming country to Riverton.
When the canola is in flower there’s no better place to ride. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #141823;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">The RAA's recent travel time survey - which looked at moving around the city by bike, car, bus and tram - found that the bicycle is king. </span></span><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px;">Bike beats car in three of the four routes studied. </span></span><br />

It carries a lot of weight. Even more interesting - the RAA is actually calling for more people to ride bikes and more funding for infrastructure. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #141823;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's a stat for you - O</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">nly 1 in 5 cyclists in Adelaide are female. The question is why? </span></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We just completed a survey last week - and it gave us some rather important insight. If we want more women on bikes - then we need to improve infrastructure. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Adelaide local Sophia Barrios had a chat to The Advertiser on the weekend and told them: "The scariest thing about riding is not having a dedicated bike lane."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />And she's not alone. The majority of respondents to a Bike SA survey, all of whom were female, said
they would feel more comfortable riding a bike if there were more separated
bike paths and better bicycle infrastructure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are some of the key stats from more than 500 women that responded to the survey:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">60 percent of respondents believe that having more separated bike paths
followed by better bicycle infrastructure (52 percent) and more bicycle lanes
(47 percent) would encourage more women to ride more often.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Notably, 70 percent of female cyclists believe that compulsory helmet laws are
not a barrier to getting more women cycling, and only 12 percent believe that
not having to wear a helmet would increase the likelihood of women riding.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overcoming barriers to personal safety and the attitudes of other road users
featured frequently in submissions to the survey by women who ride regularly</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Several respondents also said that they feel more comfortable riding as part of a group or with another person.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bicycle SA will be pushing both local and state governments for more and better infrastructure. So come ride with us, become a members or simply spread the gospel of cycling in South Australia and beyond. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With the local government elections now done and dusted, we
would like to congratulate all successful candidates and the new and re-elected
mayors to our State. There were 44 councils participating in elections and a
total of 77 elected members and 44 Mayors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bicycle <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SA held a
forum where we invited all ACC candidates the opportunity to speak for 2
minutes and share their vision for a Cycle friendly City. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To the assembled 60 interested<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bike SA members and friends, the opportunity
to hear from candidates was very much appreciated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We would like to take the opportunity to congratulate all
ACC elected members and particular our new Lord Mayor Martin Haese. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">At the forum, Martin expressed a personal desire to work
with Bike SA as we move forward and Bike SA will work to develop a productive
relationship with all the elected members to ensure the city of Adelaide continues
to build on the considerable changes achieved by the previous council. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In that regard, we would like to acknowledge the significant
contribution that council made under the previous Lord Mayor Stephen Yarwood. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">His passion and passion to make Adelaide a vibrant,
sustainable and relevant capital city deep into this century must be applauded.
Of course he wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of his fellow
elected members. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>What are the 3 crash types responsible for most of the serious casualties among SA cyclists? Chances are, they're not the ones you think...</b></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Car doors? Nope. Side-swipes? Not those either. All three of the crashes that are responsible for over 60% of serious cycling casualties in SA involve a turning vehicle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If that was one of your 3, well done - but you're in the minority. Most cyclists we spoke to didn't even rate turning vehicles in their list of likely suspects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The good news is that we have a chance to change this - to marry perception with fact and to have a meaningful discussion around what <u>we</u> can do to improve our own safety.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The <i>Be Safe Be Seen </i>Workplace Bicycle Education Program aims to equip cyclists with the facts about these top 3 crash types and strategies to avoid them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We simply want to <i>decrease our risk</i> and to <i>increase our confidence </i>out on the road.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's only 30 minutes, it's for all levels of cycling experience <u>and</u> for motorists, it's free and you get a safety pack worth $100 for attending. Oh, and we bring it to you. Easy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Bike SA: Tell us a bit about what you do – and your first bicycle.</b><br /><br /><b>Zara: </b>I teach yoga in Adelaide and I'm a student, studying psychology. I just finished writing a thesis on the effects of yoga on stress! I'm really fascinated by the mind-body connection.<br /><br />My first bicycle I bought in London from a very nice man who made them as a hobby. It's an old red BSA frame that's now covered in stickers, and I have a real sentimental attachment to it - I shipped it over to Adelaide because I couldn't bear to part with it!<br /><br /><br /><b>Bike SA: </b>Why should more women get involved in cycling? What do you think stops them?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Zara: </b></span>I think the image of blokes on swish expensive bikes in loads of lycra can be a bit intimidating - but not just for women, for everyone! Cycling is so versatile, and races and stretchy fabric is just one reason bikes are fun! Lots of women I know who ride do so for very different reasons - for gentle rambles along the river, to commute, or to show off the fruits of their incredible bike building skills! There really are so many ways people can make it work for them.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Bike SA: </b>Do you have any funny / interesting / ridiculous cycling stories or memories?</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Zara: </b></span>I remember the first time I ever made it up to Norton Summit - on my very not-fancy road bike, I felt like the proudest person alive. I'd been desperately trying to keep up with a really fit, strong looking woman on a gorgeous bike ahead of me, and as we zoomed down the winding roads I was so relieved after that hard climb. As we reached the bottom of the hill this fantastic woman turned and started back up the hill. I called out to ask if she was going up again, and when she said she was I told her she's a legend! I was inspired, and exhausted!</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Zara: </b></span>I'm going to challenge myself and go for the 50k ride- I'm excited to do a bit of climbing!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Zara: </b></span>I'm totally in love with the route along the beach, so I do a bit of a loop, starting and ending in the city.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Bike SA: </b></span>What do you have in store for us at the start line of Gear Up Girl SA?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Zara: </b></span>I'll be leading a bit of a stretch and a warm up to get us ready to ride - yoga is so perfect to do alongside cycling, and we'll be targeting some of the areas that tend to tighten up the more time spent on a bike - the hips, hamstrings, lower back, glutes and calves.</span><br />

If you try to fight a climb, it will fight back at you! The harder or longer the climb is, the more you have to respect it. Do this by starting a climb really slow and in a nice easy gear, don’t pu<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">s</span>h hard and try to relax your upper body and focus on controlling your breathing. Willunga Hill is a tricky climb, it seems to kick you where it hurts for the first 2km’s and it’s here that if you push too hard, you’ll struggle for the rest. Take it nice and easy, then as the climb starts to flatten a little more, then find a nice rhythm and push a little more. Also remember it’s a long way before you reach the bottom Willunga Hill, so be sure not to ‘burn your matches’ beforehand!</span></div>
<div class="p4">

<div class="p4">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Any advice for last minute preparation for a ride? What do you eat? Do you train hard the week before the ride?</b><br />
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">It does depend a little on how fit you are leading up to this ride. I know a lot of people use Amy’s Rid<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">e</span> as a means to help kick start their summer riding season, so if you’re a little light on the training leading up </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">to this, don’t head out for too many big rides beforehand. Try to gain some consistency now, b<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">y</span> stringing together 3 to 4 rides each week, of low to medium intensity and nothing over 80km. If you are </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">currently quite fit, and are looking to test yourself on the day, then it’s a good idea to try and replicate the distance the weekend before<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. </span>Then consider doing a couple of rides mid-</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">week, with a long climb involved with each one, high cadence and good coffee! A few days recovery will then see you in great shape. What I eat leading up to an event like this would involve lots of vitamins </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">/ minerals, high protein, iron, zinc among other things and then closer to the event, further increasing my carbohydrate intake. Good hydration before the event is also critical, so the day before the ride, be </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">sure you are completely hydrated. Waiting for the day itself is too late!</span></div>

<br />
<div class="p9">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you’re raring to go, try not to get too excited on the Southern Express Way - by all means, have a great time and enjoy being swept along, but if you’re looking to do the long distance, try to keep your heart rate in check and in control. If you think you are spending a few biscuits in the first hour just to hang on, you may not make the finish, or certainly not make it the way you had hoped! So keep your heart rate under 80% of your maximum for the first hour, then only let it lift to 90% on the climbs. A good breakfast before the ride is also really important and start grazing away within 30 minutes from the ride starting. Chew on something every 30 minutes, it doesn’t need to be much, but throwing coals into the burning fire is what will keep the engine nice and bright! Drink a large bidon an hour, especially if it’s a hot day. Most importantly enjoy the ride, stay safe and always avoid riding too close to the rider in front of you (overlapping wheels etc). If you do find yourself in a little peloton, I always like to remind riders not to just look at the person in front, but try to look ahead of the pelon itself and that way you will never have a bingle with others.</span><br />

We run a number of tours throughout Europe, including tours during the
Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, La Vuelta as well as trips away from
races through regions like the Italian Dolmites, French Alps and
Pyrenees. Many years ago I raced professionally in Germany, as well as
with a number of teams in Australia. I then went about creating my own
team, Savings & Loans, which was the first registered UCI
Continental Team in Australia and we took it around Asia, United States,
New Zealand and of course Australia. I was also lucky enough to ride
for Team UniSA at the Santos Tour Down Under between (2001 - 2005),
picked up a couple of Most Aggressive Riders Jerseys (that was my
thing..) as well as being part of the winning team in 2004. I really
enjoy endurance riding, the mental and physical challenge appeals, and
hence I have ridden events like the Scody 3 Peaks. They’re not races,
but personal challenges and great days on the bike - much like Amy’s
Ride in a couple of weeks time. That said, I do like to ride to my best
ability and happened to receive Line Honours for the past 2 years - this
year sharing the achievement with another which I’ll remember for a
long time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Austin Arrowsmith shares the next chapter of his story...<br />Family participation in events is a great thing. Sharing the excitement with loved ones is an awesome experience, from riding to school with Dad, to riding over the finish line.</b> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was in everyone’s eyes, as we filled out the forms to participate in Amy’s Ride, too. With no tandem tag-along as yet, the excitement turned to concern over who would miss out if we didn’t get one in time. I had to draw short of promising to ride it twice - once for each child.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With time drawing near, despite many offers of help to find a tandem tag-along, they were just “too hard” to get in Oz. “<i>There’s no market</i>” I was told. So I bit the bullet and bought a tandem bike. Perhaps a tandem with a tag-along was a doable option? They aren’t much easier to find on short notice either! At least, not without breaking the bank. One place near Sydney has them in stock and was willing to ship nation wide - “we do it all the time”. Three days later, it was on our doorstep and half a day off work later, it was ready to roll down the street. With gearing that would take this up the worst hill (MTB gears were a change after being used to road bike gearing), I was initially concerned about getting over 25kph, but then realised with two kids in tow, those gears could be a life saver!</span></div>
<div class="p3">

Now that the warmer weather is here, there would be new fights, but with the rear seat post needing to be higher to accommodate the tag-along attachment, the longer legs would have to win out.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As with all new things on two wheels, it needed some practice and adjustments, and some friendly advice from a local bike shop.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Those of you around the North-Eastern or Western suburbs may have seen us on a few of our training rides - riding down to the beach and along the foreshore gets lots of smiles and comments, and we always smile and wave back. Getting some hills training in is littered with “Awww maaaan”s but the squeals of joy as we crest to come down the other side are just as plentiful. Plenty of parents have asked about the bike and how they could get their kids on one, and asked if it was custom made!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The training rides for endurance and some hills have made the daunting task of taking both of them on Amy’s Ride less stressful, as we know we can ride 65ks together now - with sufficient breaks to stretch our legs and drink and eat up. Knowing how well the ride is organised with the rest stops means I know we’ll make it just fine.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We are now already trying to plan how to take #3 with us next year, as he’s looking on with eager eyes from the sidelines.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keep an eye out for us on the road and say hi! If you’ve already signed up for Amy’s Ride, then wave and say hi as you zoom on by!</span><br />

motorists and cyclists to get along? Bike SA has been providing some
expert advice. CEO Christian Haag fills us in with what's been happening. </b></span></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Recently,
the Premier announced that a Citizens’ Jury was to be established to
consider the relationship between motorists and cyclists. Thirty five
jurors have been selected from over 6,000 invitations and represent a
solid cross section of the Australian
community. They have been tasked to consider the following proposition -
"Motorists and cyclists will always be using our roads. What things
could we trial to ensure they share the roads safely?” - You can read more
on this <a href="http://yoursay.sa.gov.au/citizens-jury" target="_blank">here. </a> </span></span></span>

</span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Over the next month, they will be provided with a deep
understanding about this issue from a broad range of experts. They will
then put forward a series of recommendations to be taken to the Premier
who will in turn make a representation to Cabinet for
appropriate action.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Last Saturday was the first in a series of presentation sessions
provided to the Jury - with SA Police, RAA, MAC, Local Government Authorities and Bike SA all giving
insight into what is a very complex issue. Bike SA CEO Christian Haag
talked about how the organisation fosters sustainable
behaviour change through a range of programs aimed at getting more
people riding as well as some "myth busting" fast facts on who and how
many people ride.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">From the questions that followed, it’s clear that as a group, the
Jury have already taken on board a vast amount of information in an
incredibly short period of time. And perhaps more encouraging has been
the range of ideas and potential solutions that
are starting filter through.</span></span></span></div>

We are indeed fortunate to have a Premier who is
actively engaged in this space and who wants to ensure that all South Australians have the choice to ride safely.</span></span></span><br />

What </i></b><span class="s2" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>sort of </i></b></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>rattles</i></b><span class="s2" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>/issues should you </i></b></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>look out for?</i></b></span></div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keeping your bike up to date with servicing is very important. By regularly servicing you will keep up with the items on your bike that require constant attention. Things like tyres, drive lines (chain and cassettes) and brakes require regular attention. All these items are classed as consumables and will wear out.</span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keep that chain lubed with a quality chain lube - this ensures a long life for the chain and less effort from you the cyclist. </span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keep the tyre pressures at there optimum pressure - this varies for different disciplines. Road bike pressures are far greater than mountain bikes. This prevents tyre damage and helps avoid annoying punctures.</span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Brakes are hugely important. Ensure your brakes are adjusted well and the levers are set where you like them - everybody is different on this one - some people like a firm lever and the brake to come on quickly while others like the levers to travel a bit so they can 'feather' their levers. Hand size plays a part in this.</span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If your bike is squeaking, creaking or rattling - this is a sign of something needing lubrication or tightening. Small amounts of corrosion can form on bearings in various places on the bike (ie, head set or bottom bracket). Get these seen to quickly as lubrication will often eliminate the issue. Ignoring them will certainly lead to part failure with a cost attached. Also a squeaking bike will just drive you nuts on that long ride!</span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keep your bike clean - dirt and grit are the mortal enemy of moving parts.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p1">
<b><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How often should you service your bike. Annually? Monthly?</span></i></b></div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Servicing frequency depend on the amount of riding you do and the conditions you ride in.</span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you are a daily commuter and doing approx. 100 kms a week in varied conditions (wet/dry) it would be wise to check your bike weekly. (lube chain, check tyre pressures and wash it) and service 3 monthly.</span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you are a weekend road rider - then 6 monthly would be OK.</span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just riding a few times a month - then an annual or 6 monthly service would be fine.</span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you are a riding a MTB on forest trails then you should really look over the bike every time you ride. These are more extreme conditions and equipment failure can be dangerous and expensive. Servicing 3 monthly.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p1">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i> How much is too much to pay for a bike service? </i></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<li>Bike servicing costs vary depending on the condition of your bike at the time of the service and the age of the bike.</li>
<li>A standard service will cost you about $90 to $100 (plus parts). This covers cleaning, lubrication and adjustment of the gears. Checking and tuning of the wheels. Brake adjustment. Cleaning the frame and wheels. Checking all other moving parts and fasteners. This normally takes about 1 to 1 1/2hrs</li>
<li>If your bike is well loved and really needs some attention or clocks up high km's then I would suggest the major service. There is a lot more dismantling of the bike done here with bearings removed and greased including the head set, wheels and bottom bracket. The derailleur removed and cleaned etc. A comprehensive service.</li>
<li>If you understand your bike a bit more you can also just have certain elements of the bike serviced - these type of services attract an hourly rate and can be the cheaper option for minor issues. Pricing at $80 per hour.</li>
<li>To help keep prices down I also offer multiple bike discounts - 2 or more bikes at the one place you get $10 off the service price for the second and subsequent bikes.</li>
<li>Older bikes can be a little more difficult to service especially if parts are required as some of the older parts aren't always available so replacement with newer parts can be tricky to interface and a little costly as more time is required. There is nothing wrong with fixing your trusty old bike.</li>
<li>Many of my customer like to stay around while I work on their bikes - I don't mind this at all as it gives the owner an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about what to do between those service intervals.</li>

<li class="li1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lubricate your chain regularly and keep tyre pressures maintained. Purchasing a good quality chain lube and pump from your local bike shop is a great investment and makes this very easy.</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'Bonking'…Hitting the Wall…Blowing up...Energy crashes…All phrases you’ll hear in the bunch that describe the dreaded feeling of jelly legs and an empty tank that can’t spin the legs over any longer. There’s perhaps no more unpleasant feeling on a ride but fortunately 'bonking' can be easily avoided with a well thought out (and executed!) nutrition plan. Here are a few tips to keep you rolling along and finishing strong.<br /><br /><b>Prevention is easier than cure!</b><br /><br />The simple explanation for why 'bonking' occurs is a depletion of the body’s carbohydrate stores. When carbohydrate levels drop too low the body responds by switching to fats as a source of fuel. Unfortunately, this leads to a sudden onset of fatigue and dramatic slowing of intensity and pace. The good news? 'Bonking' is completely avoidable if you keep up your carbohydrate stores, remain hydrated and don’t over-pace yourself. Fuelling up before you head out on the road is the first important step in avoiding the ‘bonk’ - especially if you ride early in the morning. A few slices of raisin toast with honey, muesli and yoghurt or a banana plus a muesli bar are all carbohydrate rich, easy to digest options to top up your fuel stores before a ride.<br /><br /><br /><b>Don’t ignore the clock </b><br /><br />Too often cyclists fall in to the trap of feeling great and forgetting to eat (or deliberately ignore their plan to eat) during a ride. But the reason you’re probably feeling so great is that your carbohydrate levels are good so don’t fall into the trap of not eating and letting your carb stores plummet. Starting early and being proactive with carbohydrate intake during the ride is essential. For training rides longer than ~90minutes aiming to get in ~30-45g carbohydrate per hour is a good starting point (during rides longer than 4-5 hours you may need to push this up to 60-80g carbohydrate per hour). To put this goal into practice, most gels contain ~25g carbohydrate and a medium banana has ~20g carbohydrate. If you’re prone to forgetting to eat, set an alarm on your watch and eat each time it beeps - regardless of how you’re feeling. It’s always a good idea to carry a little bit more food than you think you’ll need, “just in case”. It’s easier to put an unused gel back in the pantry than fight your way home with jelly legs! <br /><br /><br /><b>So, what should you do if you 'bonk'?</b><br /><br />Stop (or slow down if you’re lucky enough to be able to keep rolling) and get some carbohydrate in quickly! Sports drink can be a good option as it gives you a rapidly digested source of carbohydrates as well as some fluid. Once you make it back home or to the finish line, continue to recover with carbohydrates, protein and fluids - dairy based smoothies or flavoured milks tick all the boxes for easy recovery, particularly if your appetite is poor as is often the case after 'bonking'. <br /><br /> Fingers crossed these few tips can help you avoid the dreaded 'bonk'. <br /><br /><b>If you want to know more, join us at our free public lecture and meet local Accredited Sports Dietitians on 28 October at UniSA.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Australia is a cycling mecca - and we honestly think South Australia is one of the best places to ride. We were more than a little chuffed when traveller.com.au made a top ten list of cycling destinations and the Mawson Trail made it into the top ten. (And by the way, we think you should all come along with us on the <a href="http://www.bikesa.asn.au/outbackodyssey" target="_blank">Outback Odyssey</a> next year - which goes along this epic trail). </b></span></span></h3>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 115%;">Adjusting your eating plan to match your training load is
important to ensure you get the most out of each training session and recover
sufficiently for the next session. Carbohydrate foods are the key fuel for
active people and persistently eating inadequate amounts can result in fatigue
and an inability to finish training sessions at the desired intensity. This
issue can be easily fixed by eating nutritious foods rich in carbohydrates each
day. Wholegrain breads and cereals, fruit, dairy foods and some vegetables
(e.g. pumpkin, potato, sweet potato) are all great options. Importantly,
including protein containing foods such as lean meats, eggs, dairy foods or
vegetarian choices like tofu, legumes and nuts at meals and snacks helps your
body to recover from training sessions. Of course, not to be overlooked, eating
fruit and vegetables each day will give you the vitamins and minerals you need
to stay healthy and avoid unwanted breaks in training.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 115%;">Since most training rides are early in the morning,
eating a light carbohydrate based snack before you head out on the road will
help to top up your fuel stores that have been partially depleted overnight.
Simple, easy to digest options like a bowl of cereal, couple of crumpets with
jam or a fruit smoothie are all good options to consider. For coffee lovers,
having a small amount of caffeine before your training session (or at your
mid-ride coffee shop stop!) has been shown to have positive benefits on
training performance. If your training session lasts longer than ~90minutes
it’s important to top up your fuel stores along the way. Aiming for ~30-45g
carbohydrate per hour is a good starting point. This can be from a combination
of specialised products like sports drink, gels and bars or foods like bananas,
fruit buns, muesli bars and simple sandwiches. The most important thing is to
practice a variety of options to determine what works best for you – then stick
with this as your <a href="http://www.bikesa.asn.au/AmysRideSA" target="_blank">Amy’s Ride</a> nutrition plan. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 115%;">Active people are usually very good at drinking enough
during a training session (and even in the few hours afterwards) but often
forget to drink enough fluid, especially water, over the rest of the day. This
can lead to dehydration, which can contribute to feelings of fatigue and poor
recovery. It’s worth having a quick check of the colour of your pee now and
then to see how you’re going with your hydration needs. A simple rule of thumb
is to aim for straw (or pale yellow) pee. Dark coloured urine is usually a fair

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm a keen Mountain Biker - and I've ridden the Dirty Weekend with Bike SA before. It's fun, it's epic - but I needed an even bigger challenge. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On October 4<sup>th</sup> my good friend Marc and I will be starting a 'Municycle' (Aka Mountain Unicycle) ride on a 255km trail in South Australia to raise funds for <a href="http://www.wheels4life.org/" target="_blank">Wheels 4 Life.</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">How'd the idea start? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Late last year I was listening to a podcast of a famous "Municyclist" Kris Holms. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To quote Kris “I spent my career trying to convince people that
Mountain Unicycling is something that anybody can do and having a much
smaller proportion of people actually believe me”.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hearing Kris say this it rung through and a few weeks later I was
setting some goals for the new year and put at the top of the list learn
how to ride a Unicycle and ride well enough to make it to the local
shops and back without crashing before the year is out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now as any skill worth having the first few hours it did seem
impossible but once you break through that barrier it just clicks and
you have it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Turns out unicycling is actually a much quicker learning curve than I
expected having accomplished my goal and much more now riding many of
the local mountain bike trails.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="uni 4" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1704" src="http://www.ryanleech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/uni-4.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When I was planning this epic adventure I saw an opportunity to potentially help many people using my
new riding skill as the leverage. So I checked out famous Mountain Biker <a href="http://hansrey.com/" target="_blank">Hans Rey</a> and his efforts with <a href="http://www.wheels4life.org/" target="_blank">Wheels 4 life.</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I investigated further into W4L and watched the video of many
grateful recipients of new bikes and could see that this simple thing
the bicycle could massively improve lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">With a few solid hours of hard work the donations are flowing in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Marc and I will soon be wheel to dirt cruising at a top speed of 10.2
km per hour having a great time and knowing that this simple act will
change some lives for the better.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Transporting bikes can be a pain in the boot. A cryptic jigsaw if you also need to fit in the</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> kids, the dog, the picnic, the friend and maybe the surfboard. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We ask Ben Venturi at Roof Rack City what the deal is with bike carriers for each and every occasion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Like a good wine list, there are different types of bike carriers to choose from:</span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ben: "With roof mounted, traditionally through the years people have mainly fork mounted the bike on the roof and the carriers haven’t been lockable. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now carriers are lockable and people are tending to go toward leaving the front wheel on. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With leaving the wheel on you don’t have to find somewhere to put the front wheel and with mountain bikes having through axles there is no issues with fork compatibility." </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Towbar mounted bike carriers can carry from one to five bikes depending on the bikes and carrier. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The most popular is the platform style of carriers. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They can carry one to four bikes on them depending on the model. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These style of carriers carry the bikes with the wheels sitting on the base of the carrier and an arm holding onto the frame. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The arm holds each bike away from each other and the wheels are strapped onto the base. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Another advantage with this style of carrier is that you are not limited to the type of bike on the carrier. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>This year, Amy's Ride SA has a new finishing venue - </b><b><a href="http://arsa2014.gofundraise.com.au/cms/serafinowinery" target="_blank">Serafino Wines</a> in McLaren Vale -</b><b> and last week, Bike SA did a little site visit. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's nothing short of awesome. Here's why every person on a bike is going to love it - and why you should come and join us. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. It's absolutely beautiful </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b>
McLaren Vale is 100% stunning - and Serafino Wines is no exception. The Serafino story began when Serafino (Steve) Maglieri emigrated from Sepino, Campobasso, Italy in 1964. Full of hope, the determined teenager stepped off the SS Roma carrying a single suitcase, the cash equivalent of $20 and very little English.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, Serafino own 300 acres of prime McLaren Vale vineyards and an impressive winery. The picturesque grounds boast the newly-refurbished Serafino Restaurant, Cellar Door, four-star accommodation and a gorgeous lake in the middle of it. All it needs is some cyclists to make it even more stunning.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. You can drink Shiraz after riding the Shiraz Trail </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's something pretty magical about a relaxing glass of red after a ride - and with the Shiraz trail literally backing on to the winery it's the perfect place to sample some fine wine. Serafino's Shiraz is pretty special too - with awards for the best Shiraz at both the Great Australian Wine Challenge and the London International Wine Challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not a Shiraz drinker? No stress - Serafino produces some exciting Italian-style wines such as Lagrein, Vermentino, Fiano, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, Moscato and Primitivo plus the Spanish variety Tempranillo and more. </span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. It's got enough space to fit thousands of cyclists </span></b><br />
<b><br /></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
To say there's lots of room on the winery would be an understatement. The lawns of Serafino can fit thousand and thousand of happy cyclists. There'll be no shortage of space to park your bike and spread out those weary legs. Add live music, face painting, food stalls and you've got the perfect ingredients for a festival finish.</span><br />

And if you're in the mood for some gourmet treats, the venue is offering exclusive two course <a href="http://arsa2014.gofundraise.com.au/cms/serafinowinery"><span id="goog_279405863"></span>lunch packages for riders (bookings </a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">essential)</span><span id="goog_279405864" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.</span><span id="goog_279405859" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span id="goog_279405860" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Delicious!</span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. There's Geese!</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Serafino is pretty famous for it's iconic Goose Island range of wine. And no, it's not just marketing - the winery actually has an island on the lake called Goose Island, and there's a flock of geese that wander the grounds. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If the geese enjoy themselves, there's no doubt that Amy's Ride SA participants will love it! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Adelaide has got some way to go before we can call it Copenhagen. Only 1 in 5 people riding bikes are women. Ask someone to describe a typical South Australian cyclist and they'll probably mumble a reply with the words lycra, middle aged and male. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b>Well we stumbled across this great little photo collection from the website <a href="http://mic.com/articles/98972/21-photos-of-women-who-shatter-the-stereotype-of-what-a-real-biker-looks-like">identities.mic</a>. who have put together an awesome photo collection of women and bikes. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Who else thinks we ought to do the same here in Adelaide? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And while we're talking on the subject of women and cycling, don't forget to register for our upcoming event <a href="http://www.bikesa.asn.au/gearupgirl" target="_blank">Gear Up Girl SA</a> on Sunday 23 November.. It's all about getting more women on bikes - and it's a whole lot of fun. </span><br />
