There are only a few short distances that you will need to ride on the road itself but I found it to be no issues providing you check your mirror on a regular basis. There is a new bike path but to get to it you will need to travel a further 20km and it will take you all the way to Gawler it's up the Port Wakefield road but traveling Main North Road you should be fine.

Could be sketchy in spots on bent as its 80 and 100 k multiple lanes with heavy vehicles.no continuos bike lane either.

North of the CBD easily has the worst cycling facilities in the whole of Adelaide, with no good CBD-Salisbury route. The most iffy part of Main North Road is immediately south of the intersection with Regency Road, so have a look on Google Maps and see what you think.
Churchill Road parallels Main North Road as far as the southern side of Mawson Lakes, at which point there's a nice road back to Main North Road. It usually has roadworks. It's not a brilliant alternative, but it does give drivers long eyelines to notice your 'bent.

Yeah, the death and injury rate is horrific here, not a day goes by we don't see something in the media about this problem.
