We (my wife and I, no kids) have the option to move to Adelaide in the new year. New job would be in Hindmarsh. Currently living on the Sydney Upper North Shore and enjoying the proximity to the bush, a good riding scene etc, but the place is rather lacking in any nightlife (not that we want to be out every night, but would be nice not to have to drive everywhere). We also like the idea of living by the beach (Henley Beach, Glenelg etc), and it looks like the commute would be easy either by bike (most days) or public transport / car if necessary.
However, the problem that I see is that we'd be a fair way from the bike trails - google maps is suggesting 40 minutes to Eagle park, which I suppose isn't too bad, but it's not quite the 'ride from home' setup we have at the moment.
So for all you Adelaide based people - putting aside budget (it matters, but lets not get bogged down with it), where would be the optimum suburb for proximity to beach, MTB trails, a bit of nightlife (or easy ability to get to it) and bike commutability to Hindmarsh?
