Not to mention the fact that nearly all electricity in Australia is generated by coal burning power stations. Not gonna be a clean mode of transport if you factor in where the electricity is generated from.
Having lived in Adelaide all my life I would highly recommend it! But of course I can't speak for Brisbane, Sydney or the other cities, and as such am biased towards Adelaide. I have been to San Fran and have experienced the weather over there first hand and must say that Adelaide is probably very similar in climate. Hot in Summer, cold in Winter. Probably hotter in summer then SF and colder in winter too, although we left in early November, so didn't experience too much of winter.
Adelaide is probably a more relaxed city than the others, mainly due to the lack of population, and hence, congestion. Public transport is nowhere near as good as Sydney, but seems reasonably adequate as I use it every day. Pay is less than Sydney, but living costs are as well. The CBD is a square kilometre, so it is easy to walk around town. One of the world's best wine regions (The Barossa Valley) only an hour from town. (Have to plug this as my Fiancee is a winemaker there!)
I'd be more than happy to answer any other questions you might have about Adelaide. See my web page (in my profile) for my e-mail address.

Aww, C'mon. You know all us developers do is cut 'n' paste code from Google. Need a mouse for that.
AYes some might bite you, but there are far greater dangers out there.
Yep, like drop bears: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_bears
