To celebrate the United Nations World Bicycle Day, we asked Sydneysiders what they love most about riding.
“It’s exhilarating and I get to where I’m going quickly.”
“It’s the quickest way to get to school, and much more fun than riding in the bus or car.”
“I like to go fast and it doesn’t pollute the environment.”
“I love riding my bike. There’s no smoke and you get from A to B really quickly.”
“My days are way more productive when I ride to work. It’s such an invigorating way to start the day.”
“Riding is such a great way explore the city. I’ve discovered parts of the city I would not have otherwise seen.”
“Riding a bike gives me freedom to get around easily and quickly. It’s great exercise and I always beat the traffic!”
“I love to discover interesting sights and places by bike. Riding a bike is by far the best way to get around the city.”
“My bike is my car – I use it to get around everywhere! Sydney is a great place to ride a bike.”
“I really love riding by the water – it’s so peaceful. It’s fantastic to see more bike connections being built throughout the city.”
We’re working hard to grow Sydney’s bike network and bike trips have doubled in the past 10 years.
Use our cycling map, take a course or check out an upcoming event to join the growing number of people riding in our area.
