A beautiful spring day beckoned for all riders to visit Adelaide City Council’s Supercycle Sunday and/or the Kidical Mass ride. For this bonus Adelaide Bromptoneering ride, we opted for a separate indirect ride from Victoria Park to Light Square – the location of the Supercycle Sunday celebrations. We chose this option because we thought that there were more than enough small wheels on the kids bike at Kidical Mass!

8 Bromptoneers turned up – not bad for late bonus addition to our ride program. As you can see the weather was perfect.

As usual the indirect route was taken. We took the option of the brown path, heading through Victoria Park, East Terrace and then South Terrace through to the West Terrace Cemetery and up towards Light Square. The original route details are available from September 2025 Bonus Social Ride – SuperCycle Sunday post.

Light Square was the stopping point for coffee and talking all things Brompton and bicycles. With any bike event there is always the potential for running into other Brompton owners – and today was no exception. The Brompton was newly acquired as a hand-me down from the Netherlands! The owner featured in this photo had worked out the folding process and was pleased to be featured in the picture. Kym and I weren’t sure if this was the owner of the Brompton or their son or perhaps a joint-owner – but regardless it’s always great to have another Bromptoneer in Adelaide!

There were lots of fancy cool bikes on to be seen at the event – in addition to the Bromptons! Before heading off it was recognised we would arrive for lunch too soon, and a longer route was required. Leaving light square we navigated through Adelaide (yep, the route went the wrong way ending at main intersections with no lights – but not problem we took a the footpath for a block!). There was a quick stop for a Brompton photo with some new street art. I decided to fully fold the Brompton to prevent it from falling on the other bikes, unlike a couple times earlier in the day. Once again we were quickly back on the bikes weaving our way through to South Terrace when happened to pass by Brook who was enjoying Sunday lunch with friends (wave).

The return trip included a bit of Unley. This was the double bonus in burbs of the double blues – as it didn’t feature on the original route. The rest of the ride took back lanes and roads through Unley, weaving our way back through to the parklands and back to the beginning.

Lunch was had a Victoria Park Social Club – which was super busy. Pizza and a beer was the easiest and quickest decision for lunch. While the ride was just over 22km… many commented ‘oh… not really hungry enough to finish the whole’ pizza… Not true – I am surprised any pictures managed to get taken because it all quickly got hoovered up.
