Sydney Northern and Parramatta Areas
Milsons Point – Picture Perfect
Riding around Milsons Point in Sydney is an absolute treat, if you stick around Luna Park everyone can do it. I imagine most people that ride in this area will head up to MIlsons Point station, push your bike up the silly stairs and ride over the bridge. And why not… So I keep my […]
Greenwich Wharf to Balls Head
I have ridden through the Greenwich area on Sydney’s north shore a few times and everytime I seem to take a different route. As a result, my maps are a little jumbled. But the area is so nice, it was time to make a decision on the good bits. I have decided the one way […]
Manly to Dubroyd Head and Sandy Bay
Last year I took a ride to Dobroyd Head on the north side of Sydney Harbour. I started in Manly on the bike trail along Lauderdale Rd and turned at North Harbour Reserve to head to Dubroyd Head. I pretty well stuck to the roads that followed the coast and this was a bit hit […]
Getting Around North Sydney
North Sydney is a suburb just north of the harbour bridge. It consists of numerous high-rise buildings, the Pacific highway and is the outlet for the Harbour Bridge and the Tunnel traffic. It was never designed for bicycles and I have ridden through it and hated it. Recently Bike North, a advocacy group published a […]
Lane Cove Area
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 […]
Places like Centennial Park in Sydney
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, […]
Northern Beaches
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 […]
Olympic Park to the City – Ride North or South of the Parramatta River?
I wanted to compare the quickest commute trail from Olympic park area to the Anzac bridge. So I rode from Rozelle to Rhodes via Lillyfield Rd then back down the north side of the river to see which side of the river was better. The result is Rhodes to Rozelle (Anzac Bridge ramp) north or […]
The Greater Sydney Bike Trail
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 […]
The Greater Sydney Bike Trail
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 […]
The Zoo to the Spit Recreational Trail and the Bail-Out Commuter Trail
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 fab Northern Beaches ride
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 […]
Pools on Bike Trails in Sydney
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 […]
Parramatta Area
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 […]
