Before the Ride
You need to be at the Sydney Bike Tours office about 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
If you arrive early you may like to grab a coffee, breakfast or a light lunch at Café Danieli located right below our office.
Before your ride starts you will need to complete an insurance form. Then you will be given a helmet and safety vest. Once all the riders are ready, we will have a briefing about the ride, the bikes and safety whilst on the ride.
You will then be allocated one of our modern and comfortable bikes that are extremely easy to ride. We can make any necessary adjustments to ensure the bike is the correct height for you.
Once you have your bike, there will be an opportunity to give it a test ride so that you feel confident with the bike. This will ensure that you know how to use the brakes and the gears before we roll out onto the streets.
During the Ride
The majority of the ride is on flat land, which makes this a very easy ride for everyone. We only have a couple of very small hills on the ride so don’t worry about any challenging climbs. Our well planned route keeps you well away from the city traffic. You will find that nearly the entire ride is on quiet streets, cycle lanes or wide-open paths.
As we make our way around the city, we have many stops along the way. You will learn about the history of Sydney, hear interesting and amusing stories and take plenty of great photos. We will also ensure that you have plenty of breaks so you are never on the bike for too long without having a rest.
After the Ride
Once our ride comes to an end we will return to the Sydney Bike Tours office. Then head across the road to a ‘Great Aussie Pub’ where Sydney Bike Tours will buy you a drink whilst you relax and share some stories with your fellow riders. What a fantastic way to finish off this great experience!
