Bikedirect is a network of bicycle routes that has been developed to encourage cycling by providing a variety of options for cyclists with different needs and abilities. The network identifies main roads, bicycle lanes, local streets and off-road paths within the Adelaide metropolitan area.
Use Bikedirect to plan a cycling trip or help you find your own favourite places to ride. When out on your bike look for the Bikedirect signs, which are colour coded according to the colours shown on the maps.
Downloading and printing Bikedirect maps
There have been many improvements to the Bikedirect network since the 3rd edition maps were produced in 2001. The first web-based maps were made available in October 2005 and have been updated several times since - the current version is dated December 2007. The maps have now been improved to show a relief of hills, as well as altitude contours. New facilities shown in the December 2007 edition include bicycle lanes on Park Terrace, Mullers Road, Marion Road, Elder Smith Drive, Payneham Road, Henley Beach Road, Sir Donald Bradman Drive, Railway Terrace, Cross Road, Torrens Road and Salisbury Highway, and shared-use paths in the City of Adelaide's southern and western Parklands, a section of path in the Glenelg Tramway corridor between Marion and Cross Roads, and significant sections of the Coast to Vines Trail (Willunga Marino. As changes 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.
13 maps are available, which cover greater Adelaide from Gawler in the north to Willunga in the South and from the coast to the hills. This web-based series has been designed so users can print each map on a standard A3 or A4 printer. Aerial photography has improved the accuracy of the Bikedirect network, in particular off-road path locations. Printing quality is improved and users have an improved zoom option. Other new features include five-metre contours, public toilets and a radius distance from Adelaide CBD - as well as a facility to locate suburbs through an index. The new maps were developed by the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure in conjunction with Planning SA.
