OK, the reality has hit, we ain’t going anywhere. If you live in Sydney, its time to check the joint out. Lets start with a bicycle and a ferry ride. For this story, we are going to catch the fastest Sydney ferry called the RiverCat way up the Parramatta river to Sydney Olympic park. There […]
Its mid November, the jacarandas are in full bloom, some spring flowers are still around and everything is green. Its time to go slow riding around Woolwich and Hunters Hill. Here is how you do it. I have been experimenting with Komoot Voice directions and I used them to direct me around all the best […]
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 […]
After countless years of waiting for the tram to the city from Randwick to open, it’s finally here. So I set off on the shared paths from NSW University to ride to Circular Quay where the tram ends. On the cycle ride I skipped the tram crossings near the end of Kensington Ponds on the bike […]
Beat the Bus no 8 features one of my favourite trails, Shrimptons Creek. It starts at Top Ryde Shopping Centre and heads to Macquarie University and shops. Its very easy, if you live in North Ryde or Denistone East and head to Macquarie University or shops or the offices, you should be riding this trail […]
A short really scenic ride that you can take your kids on for a leisurely trundle. The pedestrians in the area are not as thick as nearby Iron Cove. Mostly the trail is for going slow on and there is a point at Bayview Point where you must walk your bike for a 100 metres […]
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 […]
There is a terrific 35km of cycling in the Gosford area. It is easy to get to by train from the north shore of Sydney and the line that runs through Epping Station. Head to the Woy Woy train station. Once you arrive, if you just want 10 km of cycling, make your way north […]
In Beat the Bus no 4, I was excited to check out using the M7 Cycleway to get to work. It just so happened my son was meeting a manager at a giant warehouse in an industrial estate called Oakdale, so we began investigating ways he could commute by public transport. The nearest station was […]
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. […]
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, […]

We started our ride at Little Bay on a murky morning, rode through the lovely estate at Prince Henry’s and down to La Perouse on the cycle paths when we could. Then we rode along the path past Yarra Bay sailing club, behind the cemetery and up Prince of Wales drive. We then rode across […]
