 web-based map series - Updated April 2009
Bikedirect is a network of bicycle routes that has been developed to encourage cycling by providing a variety of options for people with different needs and abilities. The Bikedirect maps show main roads, bicycle lanes, local streets and off-road paths within the Adelaide metropolitan area.
Use Bikedirect to plan a cycling trip and find your own favourite places to ride.
Downloading and printing Bikedirect maps
There have been many improvements to the Bikedirect maps since they were first released in 1996. For the latest edition - April 2009 - the maps have been further improved and the accuracy of mapping has increased using the latest aerial imagery – e.g. short sections of path linking cul-de-sacs (to form continuous routes) and linkages to major paths can now be found. The location of bicycle shops has been updated. Unfortunately the location of public toilets are not able to be shown on the Bikedirect map series, however you can find toilet locations at the National Public Toilet Map website.
New facilities shown in the April 2009 edition maps include bicycle lanes on David Terrace, Fosters Road, Hanson Road, Daws Road, Park Road, Mann Road, Hackney Road, Melbourne Street, Wellington Square, Wakefield Street, Sturt Street and Halifax Street; and shared-use paths constructed as part of the Tramway Park project and the City of Adelaide's Park Lands Trail. One of Adelaide’s well-known major off-road paths paralleling the Southern Expressway has been named the Patrick Jonker Bikeway and the maps reflect this change. As improvements are made to the network, they will be regularly reflected on the web-based Bikedirect map series. Please note - Due to the continually changing and improving Bikedirect network, hard copies of these maps are not available.
14 maps are available, which cover greater Adelaide from Gawler in the north to Willunga in the south and from the coast to the hills. The map set now includes a 'CBD-centric' map. This web-based series has been designed so users can print each map on a standard A3 or A4 printer, or save on paper and zoom in on your screen. Better aerial photography has improved the portrayal of the Bikedirect network, in particular off-road path locations.
To view and print these maps, your computer will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free from www.adobe.com. Some versions of Acrobat Reader will permit some ‘layers’ of the maps to be turned off, so you can remove information that you don’t need. For example – try turning off the “seabuff” and “Image” layers, if you wanted to print the network maps and save on ink.
Maps can be downloaded by:
- Clicking your mouse on the Adelaide locality map to select the map you require.
- Using the drop down suburb menu - to find the suburb you want and its respective map.
- Selecting the map you require from the text list below.
People using the Bikedirect maps do so at their own risk. The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure will not accept any responsibility for any personal injury and / or damage to property arising from the use of these maps. Every care has been taken in the preparation of these maps; however no responsibility is accepted for any errors or omissions.
