All around the world, the corona virus is having its evil way. Solutions everywhere are different, lockups, plead with the people, economy first and prioritize the health system. Amongst all that chaos and the huge burden on health care workers, cycling has stood out as a way to stay away from The Spray of others […]
Under Australian lock-down laws, you are allowed out for exercise and you are allowed to travel to work. So I took my son to work in the city for his first day at an exercise physio clinic. And then I found a great car park in Pyrmont (it was early) and went to check out […]
Darling Harbour is a treat for the visitors, Glebe is close by, there is Sydney Park which is a great place for the kids and the complicated trails to Wolli Creek on the Cooks River Cycleway Read on, this area has many paths including The Goods Line, Erskinville and Wooloomooloo. Darling Harbour If you can […]
This very scenic video shows the early weekend ride from Rushcutters Bay to Darling Harbour using the Cahill Expressway shared path. The views from the shared path above Circular Quay are really good and you are a long ways a way from the crowds. Unfortunately you soon will come across a few runners and not […]
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 […]
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 […]
For Beat the Bus no 3, I was inspired by Karen O’Brien who said in Sydney Commuters “Glebe to Martin place. Bus in peak hour 45 min. Riding 20 min” That’s enough of a win to get the re-elected Jamie Parker and Jenny Leong, Greens members for Balmain and Newtown back on their bikes riding […]
On a really nice Saturday in January, I headed off to try and find a workable easy way to connect the wonderful Whites Creek Lane bike path in Annandale with the equally wonderful Sydney Park in Erskinville. That meant I would have to ride down to Pyrmont and head over the Anzac bridge and then […]
A ride around Blackwattle Bay and Roselle Bay is fun, extremely scenic and relatively easy except for the bridge climb. This is an adult ride because you ride right next to some really busy roads with no protection on a 2-3m concrete path. Ride anti-clockwise so you are not the one next to the traffic. […]
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 […]
A great little trail that runs from Central Station down to the really good Darling Harbour trail. If you get off at Central Station, head for the Redfern/south end next to Devonshire St. Now head north-west towards UTS/Railway Square/Darling Harbour down the 400m long Devonshire St tunnel. You will need to walk your bike through […]
Cycling from Central Station to get views of the Sydney Opera House and travel a safe route, this is possible and its quite an entertaining ride. The key to this ride is Bourke Street on the east side of Surry Hills. This actually isn’t too far from Central Station and you can ride the Surry […]
Who doesn’t want to ride around past the Opera House and Darling Harbour and do Centennial Park in one big loop. Way One is this: Stick to the water around Botanical Gardens (walking) then ride through the Circular Quay crowds, under the Harbour Bridge and then around Barangaroo. See the pink on this map >> […]
