If you are a bicycle enthusiast in Sydney, you’ve probably got a mental map of the best bike routes in inner Sydney.
Maybe you’ve freshly acquired a new bike from a neighbourhood bike store and are excited to check out some local bicycle paths. But where are the ace Sydney bike trails which we all deserves to be aware of?

Definately around Oylmpic park, traffic is low and Bicentennial park provides are good back drop for a picnic and photo opportunities.
Also along the river from Strathfield to Bryton Le Sands…
The paths that take you from Leichhardt to Glebe via Lilyfield.
Around the ‘Bay Run’ in the Drummoyne area.
Agree that the rides around Sydney Olympic Park (including Blaxland Riverside Park) and the nearbye Bicentennial Park are good value. Occasional cyclists can hire bikes at both venues and get food, snacks, drinks etc in the vicinity of the wharf. The routes are many and varied. Those with a history bent can cycle into the Amory and explore the heritage listed ex armament storage depot (previously RANAD Newington). Anyone who wants exercise on an off road route can set off from Blaxland Riverside Park (Silverwater) and cycle up and down the southern side of Parramatta River. It’s relatively easy to cross over the Silverwater Bridge and ride west and east on the northern side of the river. It’s worth taking a look at the newest stretch, the recently completed Ermington Bay Nature Trail, complete with contemplative viewing point over the tidal Parramatta River.
Great for cyclists of all ages and abilities, including families with young kids.
The Wolloomooloo to Green Square run
