À vélo de Birkenhead à Blair Athol

This ride takes you from Birkenhead, a laid-back suburb known for its riverside views and heritage shipyards, east to Blair Athol—a vibrant, diverse neighbourhood just a few kilometres north of Adelaide CBD. The 16.8 km journey is mostly flat, with barely 30 metres total ascent, making this route easy on the legs and perfect for a relaxed pace.

You’ll enjoy smooth sailing (or, well, pedalling), as over 90% of the path is well-paved, predominantly asphalt. Most of your journey unfolds on quiet roads and purpose-built cycleways—so you can soak up the scenery with minimal traffic stress. Glimpse suburban parks, classic Adelaide bungalows, and maybe make a pit stop at a local café along the way.

Finish up in Blair Athol, a suburb with a proud multicultural vibe and some of the best little bakeries and eateries in Adelaide’s north. All in all, this is an easy, enjoyable ride—great for casual cyclists, commuters, and anyone looking to see a different slice of the city.
