Join us on a tour of the quiet streets around the new Metro stations. With services starting in October, use this ride to get familiar with your route to and from the station.

🚲 You'll need a bike in good working order and a helmet. 
⚠️ While the route we've chosen will be suitable for relative beginners, you will need to be comfortable riding on roads and familiar with the road rules.
🗺️ The route we plan on taking can be viewed at RideWithGPS.
🕗 Saturday 18 July – 9.00AM - 1.00PM
☕️ Mid-ride stop in Hurlstone Park.
📍 We'll gather from 8.30AM near the bike parking areas on the Metro side of Sydenham Station.

​We hope to see you on Saturday!

On Saturday 6 June 2026 we're heading south via a wonderful corridor quietly announced in the shadows of the GreenWay opening! 
The M6 Active Transport Corridor stretches 4 kilometres from Kyeemagh to Monterey, wide, separated, and genuinely lovely. It's the kind of infrastructure that makes you wonder why we don't build everything like this.
​
We'll also be passing through some of the Inner West's cycling infrastructure along the way: the quick-build route on Meeks Road, the Carrington Road cycleway, and the Botany Bay foreshore path.

🗺️ Check out the route: ridewithgps.com/routes/54645516.
​🚲 Be sure to bring a functioning bike and your water.
🕗 8.30AM - 1.00PM
📍 We'll gather near the bike parking areas on the Metro side of Sydenham Station.

It was a fun day! The chocolate is already gone, but we still have the photos:

There are many great reasons to ride, including reducing your carbon footprint! 🌞 Climate-Change-Balmain-Rozelle have been pushing for this as part of their vision for an active transport corridor connecting future high density areas at Bays West to the city.
Member for Balmain, Kobi Shetty, is hosting a free BBQ and a group ride to help demonstrate the strong public support to reopen the Glebe Island Bridge for walking and cycling 🚲 We'll help you get there!
📍Meet us at McNeilly Park in Marrickville
🕘 9am for a 9:30am start.
NOTE: this is a ONE WAY ride! We'll pause at Hearthe, opposite Stanmore Station for a coffee and a baked treat, before continuing at 10am, to arrive at the Rozelle Parklands in time for the 10:30am OFFICIAL bike bus to the BBQ at Waterfront Park, Pyrmont. Everyone is responsible for getting themselves home from Pyrmont.
