A great way to see Sydney is on a bike. There is opportunity to join led cycle tours which will take you through some of the best sites in Sydney, alternatively you can rent a bike and helmet from a hire shop.

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. |
