How good are the views above Kiama south of Wollongong ? This video may encourage you to have a look if you have an ebike or you are a good road bike rider. When I looked at the last cycle trail down Wollongong way that I had to conquer, I decided I would extend the […]
I enjoy the ride from East Hills to Canley Vale and Carramar. The trail is mostly bitumen and quite smooth. So one day I headed up this trail from Revesby then diverted around to Bankstown and back to Salt Pan Creek. There are some roads in the section running from Georges River to Bankstown but […]
I have ridden the coast of Wollongong from Thirroul to Kiama all on decent cycleways. I have also ridden the north and south end of Lake Illawarra and loved it. But I have never done the loop and that is basically because everyone seems to ride on the edge of the motorway into Dapto. I […]
After listening to some inspiring ladies at the Bike-packing talk night at Omafiets in Redfern and then heading to The Big Bike Film Night at the Randwick Ritz, I realised it was time to complete a challenge of my own. A thought bubble came to me, why not ride around Sydney. Hopefully this page will […]
Six months ago my wife and I headed to Mt Annan and the Australian Botanical Gardens near Campbelltown. It was hot and the place was so dry, it looked like mars. We didn’t like the look of the roads as there was no verge on the narrow road and we tend to potter around. We […]
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 […]
A few weeks ago, I was reading a blog by Gary Corbet, holder of the world record for continuous e-Bike riding which he set at 28,000kms. In the post he discussed his plans to ride his Ebike in great locations along the East Coast of Australia and as an aside he said probably wouldn’t ride […]
It is possible to ride from Tunks Park to the Spit and follow council signs all the way. But its all on roads and its very hilly. I did it early on a Sunday morning and saw no cars, this will not be the case any other time. Thats the downside, the upside is it is […]
Lots of cyclists ride in the areas around Watsons Bay, Dover Heights and Vauclause and why not, the sights up the bay and down the cliffs are fantastic. But its all roads and there are people driving around. To minimise your risk you can ride on a Sunday morning and you can take it easy. […]
There is no skirting the issue, northern Balmain is hilly and it has great buildings and views. But on an eBike or if you actually like hills it is generally quiet to ride around and signage for bikes is quite good. Drummoyne on the other hand is a popular place for the bike commuters but […]
