We recently moved to Perth from Auckland and i'm so happy for the bike paths here.
In auckland you basically risk your life on the footpath and on the road as aucklanders just don't give a **** about cyclists.
Anyways, the move to perth has been a treat. Not only do i not have to ride with any traffic, all the bike paths are well used and well designed. They follow the train lines and are just the best thing since iced coffee.
I do have one problem...I hate people who wear their &&&#&#&& Ipods while walking or biking and can't hear me when i say "beep beep honk honk hello.."to let them know i'm there/here. Those people deserve to be run over...
