After a very long summer, Sydney had a lot of rain and then we had a foggy day. This video illustrates that Sydney is a interesting place to ride around even on a colder foggy day. The ferry that I caught was completely empty at 8:30 on a Saturday morning, I guess all the tourists […]
A short really scenic ride that you can take your kids on for a leisurely trundle. The pedestrians in the area are not as thick as nearby Iron Cove. Mostly the trail is for going slow on and there is a point at Bayview Point where you must walk your bike for a 100 metres […]
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 […]
Iron Cove Get up early, hop on a train to Summer Hill and ride down and around Iron Cove for 15km of fun. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Its flat, the tracks are wide but if its sunny and after 8am and the weekend, it will be very busy. Runners and walkers call the 8km […]

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 […]

If you are going to ride around Sydney, one trail you will definitely end up on will be the Cooks River trail. The Cooks River before Sydney got big, ran from Chullora near Bankstown to Botany Bay. It used to consist of lots of marshlands and was probably a pretty good source of water to […]

The track starts at the golf course […]
