If you like to ride on shared streets and pathways, keeping well away from busy areas, this is for you. Riding my bike is  an easy way for me to explore more of Sydney, enjoying places I've never seen before.  Helmets are compulsory, and bright clothing is recommended. Be courteous on the road and ride defensively. Take lots of water and food. But you will find many places to have a rest, a cup of tea or coffee and something to eat.
