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 Sydney Jigsaw map is getting really big with over 800km of combined loops. Certainly has been interesting riding and building it and still lots to do. One area that is complete and that is the Sydney Eastern suburbs. Here I have completed 4 different loops and as its the Eastern Suburbs where there isn’t […]
A common theme amongst Sydney cyclists is that the cycle paths are terrible. Well that is certainly true in middle suburbs like Punchbowl and Greenacre and much of the North Shore but its not the case as you head into the newer suburbs in the far west. Great small examples out west are Potts Hill […]
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 […]
There is lots to ride in the Lane Cove area and the best is Lane Cove National Park which consists of very quiet roads and lots of bush. There are two good trails for commuting/scenery, the 17km long Epping Rd Cycleway and the shorter Shrimptons Creek cycleway to Ryde. But if you really want to […]

Here is a map called a heat map of everything I have ridden and recorded in PUBLIC or friends mode in Strava https://www.strava.com/athletes/me Here is the Strava view of where sydney cyclists who use Strava go >> I like the Red mode with cycling only turned on. See the Legend in the map.
This page covers the M7 cycleway, North and South. Liverpool Railtrail and Prospect Reservoir M7 Cycleway – South Imagine a world where bikes had their own roads and cars didn’t exist. Well this is the M7 cycleway on the edge of the M7 freeway in western Sydney. I travelled about half of the freeway this […]
The new world of Covid-19 is a massive one two punch to many things the giant City of Sydney held dear. Huge numbers of people are unemployed (25% including Job Keepers). We have no tourists, no cruise ships, no flying machines, no sitting at cafes and no sport to watch. I wont go on. Here […]
A great place to ride especially in autumn. The Southern Highlands attracts a lot of road riders but the roads are mostly 80kph and above. This page details the rides that don’t involve fast rods. First is Bowral and this should include the Bong Bong track between Bowral and Mossvale. If you extend the ride […]
It is the summer holidays in Sydney and you just want to get out of town and go for a relaxing bike ride on some shared paths and then chill out. So where do you go ? There are three main areas that I like within 2-3 hours and these are Wollongong, the Central Coast […]
Around the new metro stations of Hills Showground, Norwest, Bella Vista and Rouse Hill are some good cycling trails. The first follows the new cyclepath that follows the train line from Bella Vista to Schofields Station on the Richmond line. This trail can be combined with the paths through Crestwood, the M7 Cycleway and even […]
When I first started thinking about Sydney trails, my head was filled with thoughts of steep hills, cars and faded white pictures of bikes on green patches on the road. After a much exploring, I can now reveal that Sydney has some very good places to ride if you have the motivation to going exploring. […]
In January this year I made a huge bicycle adventure from Centennial Park in the East of Sydney to Woy Woy on the Central Coast. This took all the tricks in my play book. Ride to Circular Quay Catch a Ferry to Mosman Ride from Mosman to the Spit Ride past the Manly Golf club […]
We rode from Cammeray to Lane Cove Park a few months back. It’s a great circuit. I recommend that you start near Tunks Park and make your way to the trails under the freeway. You then branch of towards Chatswood and the paths winding up to Chatswood are really nice. Near Chatwwood there are some […]
