"making it one of the safest places to ride in Adelaide." I would not agree with this assertion as there are several blind corners when climbing southwards and the oncoming downhill riders get up plenty of speed! I have not yet collided with one but we are talking about inches sometimes and it doesn't "feel" as safe as this claim makes it out to be. Mykro 04:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- So fix it... but there are no cars to contend with and this sounds like bad riding by the downhillers more than any other problem. Ill take a blind corner or two over cars rushing past all the time any day. Crashing into other bikes is a lot less dangerous than crashing into cars ... :: maelgwn - talk 04:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'm hard pressed to think of anywhere safer, the Veloway has no cars, trucks, trains, pedestrians, dogs or horses and I'm happy to take my chances with my fellow cyclists.Tophonic 10:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- Having thought about it some more I realise its the vagueness of the term "safest places" that is niggling me. I would consider "making it one of the safest transit corridors in Adelaide." as a better description, if there are no objections. Mykro 02:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
