Bike only path in Sydney
I'm new to cycling and I'm getting myself a mountain bike. I'm not confident enough to cycle on the road yet as there are far to many crazy drivers in Sydney. I know about the Sydney Olympic Park and the Centenial Park but I'm also looking for some in the Hills area near where I live. Is there a good map that shows all the available bike only path in Sydney?

The RTA has downloadable maps which are quite reasonable. From the Hills district you should take a look at the M7. //k |

I'll leave this to someone else - I live at Georges Hall which is about 15k from the Southern end of the M7 - I don't know the northern end well enough to know what's the best entry for where you are. I'm sure someone else will chip in with advice. /k |

Re: Bike only path in Sydney
I don't think there's any bike only paths in Sydney. You'll always find pedestrians on them.

Have a look at the M7 phamplet at http://www.westlinkm7.com.au/docume...ay_Pamphlet.pdf Access no 61 Gavin Pl Kings Langly has a big park and lots of on street parking. The M7 is a great bike facility with 40km of no cars and no intersectons, but there are some pedestrians and some tight corners. |

Re: Bike only path in Sydney
There is also the Roxborough Park Rd path near Baulkham Hills Pool which takes you through to the toongabbie cycleway which will flick you near the end of M2... just go up Tway Windsor Rd cycleway onto M7 from there.
Happy to show you if you're confused on what talking about.

These days, you can always find one or two security guard blocking your path.

Is this what you are taking about? The track goes through the bush. How's the quality of the track? I could actually do a loop from Roxborough Park Rd down to Seven Hills Rd then up to Merindah Rd, Creswood, Delaney Dr, then down Windsor Rd to the start point. Is this a pedestrain path only or shared path? http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-pat...-Crestwood-loop |
