Sydney Northern and Parramatta Areas
There are so many people who head to Centennial Park every day just to do laps and meet with friends. But are there alternatives for this style of bike riding in Sydney ? Heffron park If you need to just work out and want to get away from the crowds, […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have hunted the maps of the Sydney northern beaches for two years now and gave up on ever finding a half decent trail between the great Manly trail and the super Dee Why/Narrabeen Lake. Then I ran into Richard, the eBikeDiary guy in Gladesville and recognised his bike instantly. We promised to go on […]
Its almost November, time to think swimming pools in Sydney. This page features pools that are on the bike trails of Sydney. Probably a good idea to start riding from the pool if you can so you can finish off with a relaxing swim and then hop on the train or in the car. Checklist […]
Lane Cove Park When you go to the Lane Cove Cove National Park, you are going to ride on a road. This was never appealing to me as I try to stay away from cars as often as I can. Then as I finally got around to riding around the park on a rather cool […]
Parramatta River Cycleway What a great ride this is. Catch a train to Rhodes station. Travel across the railway bridge to the north side of the river. Follow the track all the way to Parramatta, a distance of 13 km. Along the way you will travel through the marshlands on some high quality bridges and […]
Manly – North Head If visitors come to Sydney, it is likely they will enjoy the Opera House and the Bridge, they will head to Bondi and walk to Coogee and then they are going want to head to Manly on the ferry. And why not! When they get to Manly, they can walk around […]
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 […]
Saw a note in one of the western bike user groups about a ride that included riding back down the M4 cycleway. So I looked around and found some references to it. I rode to Redfern and hoped on a train to Rhodes at 9 30am not busy as usual. I rode from Rhodes (boom […]
Sydney Olympic Park at homebush has a really fun BMX track. In this picture bmx track to ourselves at 8am on Sunday. I loved though it would have take a Bradbury to win anything. Click here to view all the pictures from Bike riding at Olympic Park
