I cycled round there once and was glad I went the way i did 'cause if I'd had to cycle up the steeper hill i think i'd have been going so slow I'd had risked falling off !! That's what's nice about beach road .. flat (and hardly any traffic lights... !!). Kinglake is probably the closest melbounes equiv, but a bit of a distance to get to without driving first. But they where the days when i did about 250 - 300km a week.. No other city is as good for cycling as beach rd, I reckon, and OS i'd pick Vancouver as a great place for MTB'ing...

Best cycle was from Barcelona to Rome....
