Ebike Rides Sydney

Balmain bike bus every Wed.

Join the Balmain Bike Bus, run and led by "Climate Change Balmain-Rozelle" for a pleasant ride to Union Square Pyrmont via White Bay power station and the ANZAC bridge. Two joining points: Option 1 8am, meet at Loyalty Square, outside Woolies Balmain departing at 8.10 am – and led through Balmain to White Bay Power Station. Option 2 Meet at the Robert Street gate, White Bay Power Station at 8.10 for 8.20 departure. The ride will continue over the Anzac Bridge to Union Square on Harris St, Pyrmont. Some may then choose to ride on to other locations, others may have a coffee nearby or simply head home. The Balmain Bike Bus happens every Wednesday from Loyalty Square. After the ride things get flexible depending on the desires/needs of participants that week - sometimes helping them to get to their destination/s, or sometimes stop for a coffee before heading off to work or to make the return journey home. • For more information about the Balmain Bike Bus, contact Rebecca Fernandez, by email on rebeccafernandez@outlook.com

Pedalling to the Park

Perfect weather for a gentle roll up to Centennial park, and do a few laps ( or the full Dawdle) - depends on wind direction, mood, coffee deficit, a democratic vote, then wend the way back fully aspirated and virtuous from athletic achievement. Meeting at Pioneers park at the usual spot, for an 8:30 roll out. Route is to Asbestos alley and thence onto Anzac Bridge, and follow the bike paths to Oxford Street via Liverpool Street and from Taylor Square taking the Bourke Street cycleway to Devonshire street and across the Tibby Cotter Bridge..into Centennial park. Once in the park a regroup will be held to determine how and when the coffee stop will proceed, and how vigourous the peloton if feeling towards route and hill choices. Return will be the reciprocal of the outbound leg, so this is generally regarded as an easy ride. Bring your well maintained and roadworthy bike, with sufficient spares you think necessary ( spare tube and pump levers spanners etc) any extra food you might like ( won't be needing gels for this one) a phone ( regarded now as essential kit ) and yourself in good form and fit for purpose.

Eastern Sydney Coastal Explorer

A relaxed morning bike ride with plenty of stops to catch your breath enjoy the fabulous harbour views and coastal scenery. *This ride starts early to avoid the traffic that builds up around the beaches and harbourside suburbs throughout the day.* We'll ride (easy pace, mostly on quieter streets and shared paths) along on- and off-road cycleways and back to Bondi Junction (ETA 11.30am). **Refer to the ride route map for a more detailed description.** *The ride will go ahead in a fine drizzle but not heavy rain - please check the site on the morning of the ride for any weather-related updates!* **You must RSVP in order to attend the ride.** Please make sure you UPDATE your RSVP if you cannot make it as nobody wants to be waiting for a no-show. **Disclaimer:** *By signing up for this event you acknowledge that you are personally responsible for your own safety, and that you are participating in the event entirely at your own risk. You also agree to indemnify the ride host/organiser from all claims for damages which may be incurred as a result of your participation.*

City Arvo Ride

Distance: Approx. 40–45km ​Grade: Medium (Night riding / Urban navigation / Steady pace) ​Comms: All updates will be posted here on MeetUp in the Comments section. Please update your RSVP early if your plans change so someone else can grab your spot. ​Ready to welcome the warmer weather with a classic urban loop? This ride is all about shaking off the last of the winter blues and soaking in the absolute best views Sydney has to offer as the day fades into dusk and night. ​We’ll depart Tempe right as the late afternoon light softens, snaking our way through Mascot, Alexandria, and Erskineville to hit the Wilson St Cycleway. From there, we roll into Pyrmont to catch the golden hour and hug the sparkling harbor front, pulling into Darling Square for a quick pit stop. ​The real magic happens on the second half of the loop. We’ll glide past Circular Quay to watch the city lights flicker to life over the water, head down the Pitt St Cycleway, and navigate south through Central, Redfern, and Waterloo. We’ll link up with the Bourke St Cycleway, heading straight toward a well-earned, delicious Malaysian dinner - we'll make the final call on the day whether we pull into Mascot or Rosebery. After dinner, it's just a final short spin back to the Holbeach Ave carpark. ​Sunday is deliberately chosen because the city traffic is much quieter, making for a smooth, pleasant cruise. ​Crucial Details & House Rules ​Lights: Serious, high-quality front and rear night lights are mandatory. No faint commuter flashers, please - you need to see the road and be seen by traffic. ​Confidence & Vision: This is a night ride with urban navigation. Good eyesight, night-riding confidence, and a sharp eye for city traffic are required. ​The Vibe: Spring evenings can still carry a crisp breeze, so dress in layers. We're here for good riding, stunning views, and great food - leave the complaints at home and bring your best riding energy! ​Fyi - All St George BUG Rides can be found on the St George BUG website: [https://www.stgeorgebug.org.au/calendar](https://www.stgeorgebug.org.au/calendar)

Once at the bay, we’ll tackle the brief but punchy climb up into Potts Point, arriving right at Fitzroy Gardens. We are parking the bikes by the El Alamein Fountain to explore the vibrant Kings Cross Saturday Market - famous for exceptional artisan baked treats, fresh pastries, and boutique sweet treats.

Heading home, we’ll cruise through the heart of Kings Cross and cut up through the elegant but hilly backstreets of Paddington We’ll cross over into Moore Park to pick up the green infrastructure tracks, eventually filtering back onto the Bourke Street Cycleway for a familiar, clear run all the way south to the cars at Holbeach Avenue.
