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.
