Yes, Maylands, nice spot. I have friends who built a home right on the river there. Didn't look them up last time back.

On the whole I don't mind the cycleway network in Perth, but because I was staying out past Midland and riding into Canningvale, the easiest route was along the highway (dammit, I've forgotten its name, but it ends in C'vale). Flat, straight, easy. Until I discovered some w@nky sign that said cycling wasn't allowed on the southern newer section, and I was legally forced on to a path that wound in and out, in and out. I caught the trains more often after that. Just getting across traffic lights and stuff of Nicholson Rd became a pain in the butt.

OK for the recreational cyclist, but not for the transport one.

You were lucky when the Court government was in power, with its $20 million commitment to cycling stuff. Pity the Gallop government couldn't follow it through. Strange that -- A Liberal, right-wing party supporting cycling, and a Labor, left-wing party dissing it.
