I try to get to work as often as I can (unfortunately only 2 or 3 times a week) in the following way:
I ride my bike to the Grange railway station, catch the train to
Adelaide, transfer to the Gawler line, get off at Salisbury, ride to
TAFE.
To get home, I ride to the Salisbury station, catch the train to
Adelaide, or if not an express, to North Adelaide. From there I ride to
Henley Beach, about 14 km if I use the Linear Park, or about 10 km if I
go by road, which I do when light is a problem. Either way, it takes
about the same time.
This evening, on the way home, I was hurtling along Adam street,
between Port Rd and Manton Tce, minding my own business, pushing
pedals, when I hear, out of nowhere, a huge screeching of brakes. I
look behind me and see some guy who has obviously fallen asleep at the
wheel, not seen me, and who would have killed me had he not spotted me
at the last minute. He would have driven right through me.
