I used to ride along there when I lived in Maylands riding across to Welshpool. Its nice down by the river. I's never fit enough to do it everyday though. Got to twice a week on the regular until I moved. I miss that ride.

I used to live in maylands and ride along the river to the city. That is one of the nicest commutes in Perth as you are so far from cars. South of the river now but still a fairly good ride.

Worst bit is still the middle of the CBD. Always feel like you are dicing with death because Phil from accounting needs to drive his bull barred dual cab to his office job.

But you don't understand Phil from bloody accounting's footy training oval has a gravel carpark, so he needs a big car. /s

Riding into Welshpool was sometimes pure fear. Few to no paths, sharing roads with trucks and road trains. Got to within a foot of one once, rode side by side, wasn't my smartest moment on a bike.
