Transporting bikes using public transport

[Adrian B]

Hi all

Anyone here in Adelaide have much success transporting bikes using public(ish) transport? I know
that Rail services are OK (and even free during off peak) however busses/trams etc don't take bikes.

Two particular companies referred me to the other saying they had nothing that would be able to help
(even with three hours notice!?). Ended up speaking with a private transport company which I'm sure
wasn't the most cost effective choice

Access taxis? Peope mover taxis? Other ideas...?

I've generally got two passengers and two full sized road bikes. Removal of front wheel is
no problem.

Thanks Adrian

Short of riding the bikes to the station, you'll need to pay for taxis..

With no Adelaide local experience, I can't really say what you can expect, but it's probably best to
advise the booking agent that you're carrying bikes and not to send a sedan..
