Sydney Cycling

 

 

 

Bike riding is an economical and environmentally friendly way to navigate the city. You’ll also get to see some parts of the city you never would using other methods of transport.

Some of the best bike routes will show you fabulous harbour views, give you a glimpse of the opera house, the Botanical Gardens and Hyde Park. There are plenty of parks if you decide to take a picnic, if not there are cafes close to bike paths.

More experienced cyclists who are looking for a challenge may wish to join a tour over Sydney Harbour Bridge.

There are over 200km of cycleways in Sydney, these consist of bike paths and roads with bike lanes where it is recommended you cycle.

You must by law wear a helmet at all times when cycling in Syndey. Do not ride on the footpaths unless there is signage indicating that you are able to do so. Please be wary of traffic and give way to pedestrians.

It is illegal for adults to ride bicycles on footpaths unless they are especially marked for cyclist or shared cyclist/pedestrian use: only children under 12 may ride on unmarked footpaths, adults must ride only on marked bicycle tracks or on the road with cars.

Parramatta to Kurnell
From Paramatta to Kurnell is the longest cycleway and 65km long.

Parramatta to Liverpool Rail Trail
Just under 17km long is this fairly flat cycleway.

Westlink M7 Cycleway and Walking Path
This cycleway runs alongside the M7 but is separate and about 40km long.

Bicycle helmets are required by law, as are lights and reflectors at night. If you enjoy biking there are several bike tours available around Sydney check Sydney cycling tours for more information.
