In August 2017, we headed to our capital city Canberra which is located 4 hours from Sydney. The cycling was good but it was really dry and brown. Fast forward to this December and Canberra is now very green and the bike trails are even more pleasant to ride. So as it is taking me […]

A common theme amongst Sydney cyclists is that the cycle paths are terrible. Well that is certainly true in middle suburbs like Punchbowl and Greenacre and much of the North Shore but its not the case as you head into the newer suburbs in the far west. Great small examples out west are Potts Hill […]
A 100 hardy souls have taken off on one of the worlds great bike journeys, the Hunt 1000 from Canberra to Melbourne. The weather at this time of the year is usually pretty good and there is no snow and not much mud. This year its freezing, there has been snow, the winds are strong […]

I wanted to compare the quickest commute trail from Olympic park area to the Anzac bridge. So I rode from Rozelle to Rhodes via Lillyfield Rd then back down the north side of the river to see which side of the river was better. The result is Rhodes to Rozelle (Anzac Bridge ramp) north or […]
For two years now I have been investigating the safe trails of Sydney. When I went to the Omafiets Dutch Bicycles Bike Touring talk night, the fantastic ladies inspired me to think about a multi-day bike trail around Sydney. Here is a slideshow of 220 km trail that I rode this week or you can […]
I headed off to Mosman to explore the eastern side of the horendous A3 Spit Rd. I spent a lot of time researching the best trails before I left and low and behold I still went down many very hilly dead ends. But all is not lost, its a great place to ride and busy […]
