Rozelle to CBD: The Pyrmont & Mid City Bike Route

Ride 3. Rozelle Parklands to King St: The Busy Western Cycleway to the Sydney CBD

This ride offers an excellent, scenic connection from the Inner West into the Sydney CBD, capitalizing on major new infrastructure. Starting in Rozelle Parklands, the route immediately utilizes its top feature: the dedicated, high-quality cycle path that funnels you into the spacious tunnel under Victoria Road.

Emerging from the tunnel, the path quickly takes you over Victoria Road, seamlessly separating you from heavy traffic. The route then transitions onto quiet suburban streets, following Saunders St and Union St before delivering you to the stunning Pyrmont Bridge.

After crossing the harbour with expansive views, the ride proceeds along the brilliant aerial shared path situated above the Darling Harbour Aquarium. The final and most significant segment of the journey links you directly to the dedicated, uphill King St cycleway. This ride provides a clear, high-quality path through a series of iconic Sydney landmarks before concluding at the corner of Pitt and King St, where the CBD’s main cycle network begins again.
