The Cooks River trail is the only decent cycling connection from the west of Sydney to the east (20 km). From it you can ride to Iron Cove and Newtown via Kermit’s way and there is a trail to Salt Pan Creek as well thru Earlwood. At the eastern end is the airport connection and […]
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 […]
I did something unique to the Brompton folding bike a few days back, I caught a bus. The bus was the 303 that runs from southern Redfern to Botany and then through the airport tunnel and onto Kyeemegah. This saves 5 km of bike trail riding around the airport. The serious cyclists go through the […]
Iron Cove Head on down to Iron Cove in the inner west of Sydney for 15km of different connected bike trails.. I promise you won’t be disappointed, its so picturesque. 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 […]
After countless years of waiting for the tram to the city from Randwick to open, it’s finally here. So I set off on the shared paths from NSW University to ride to Circular Quay where the tram ends. On the cycle ride I skipped the tram crossings near the end of Kensington Ponds on the bike […]

The big shared path ride in the Woronora area is Sutherland to Riverwood thru Menai (20km one way). There is also a detour in Menai to Barden Ridge. The other great riding spot is Como bridge to Oatley Park. From Sutherland you can also make your way to Loftus or the Captain Cooks bridge on […]
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 […]
For Beat the Bus no 5, Nick Carreiro from the Sydney Commuters FaceBook group said “I generally do Alexandria to the Darling Quarter in 15-20min by bike and it takes 30min+ for train or bus in peak hour.” Back to me, I needed an easy ride after a few weeks of feeling poorly, this was […]
I am going to write a series of articles called Beat the Bus. The purpose of these articles is to come up with popular rides where you can easily beat public transport whilst not riding too fast. To qualify, a ride needs to be going to a place where a lot of people travel to, […]
