Whites Creek Lane and Sydney Park Loop
On a really nice Saturday in January, I headed off to try and find a workable easy way to connect the wonderful Whites Creek Lane bike path in Annandale with the equally wonderful Sydney Park in Erskinville. That meant I would have to ride down to Pyrmont and head over the Anzac bridge and then […]
Glebe and North Balmain
A ride around Blackwattle Bay and Roselle Bay is fun, extremely scenic and relatively easy except for the bridge climb. This is an adult ride because you ride right next to some really busy roads with no protection on a 2-3m concrete path. Ride anti-clockwise so you are not the one next to the traffic. On the paths […]

Sans Souci to Oatley and more
They say that Sydney is not so great for cycling and one of the areas where this rule of thumb applies is the area around Kogarah Bay and Hurstville. As I love the cycling around Oatley and along Botany Bay so much, I have gone over the maps many times and ventured into the area […]

Ride the M7 on the hot days at the end of 2018
I was riding the northern half of the M7 at 8am on December 27th, 2018 and I was pleasantly surprised how many riders were out on their bikes. Given that the weather is going to be identical for the next few days, I thought I would explain why its so pleasant riding early at the […]
Merry Christmas from the Bondi to Clovelly Cycleway
Xmas Ride Its Xmas and the Sydney roads are virtually free of cars and our house (apart from me) sleeps on and on. So off I went on a leisurely ride from Clovelly to Bondi on the Big Easy. It was 7am and lots of people were out, clearly some people had stayed overnight to […]
The southern end of Tuggerah Lake and a race against nature
Fluoro Fran and I decided to head off early to the Central Coast (north of Sydney) to deliver my son to a mates place and take in a couple of bike rides. This entailed some bike selection as the cavernous boot of the Honda Odessey can handle three bikes and two people or three people […]
People on Bike Trails
As I am riding along on my push bike honey, I tend to take a lot of pictures. Sometimes these are pictures of other people riding around. Sometimes they are just my wife in her flouro jacket. To celebrate people on bike trails, here are a few photos and I will continue to add to […]

The Slippery Slope – Gannons Park
We have some friends in a part of Sydney that people rarely visit. Its called Peakhurst. They like to comment on my pictures so this page will come as a surprise. A few months ago I saw that the council was building a wide smooth concrete path down a hill with a good slope in […]
A Greener Canberra is A-Calling
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 […]
Add 25km to your M7 Cycleway Ride
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 […]
