Bicycle Paths
Seaforth to Shelley Beach
An 8 km ride and almost entirely off road. It starts from Baringa Ave along Burnt Bridge Creek and finishes at the new picnic area at Shelley Beach.
Manly Corso to North Head
A steep start up Darley Road takes you past the neo Gothic tourism and hotel management college. Alternatively you can stay on Scenic Drive until reaching the panoramic view of ocean, harbour and city from North Head.
Dobroyd Point
Starting at Bareena Drive, Balgowlah Heights is a family friendly dedicated bike lane around Tania Park. Along the track is an uninterrupted vista of the main harbour and Sydney Heads.
Balgowlah Heights Scenic Tour
This ride links the Seaforth to Manly Bike Path to the scenic attractions of Dobroyd Heights and Tania Park while keeping to the lightly trafficked streets and avoiding undue hill climbing as much as possible.
The Spit to Manly Ocean Beach
For a longer ride of around 19 km return, start at the Spit and finish at Manly with views along the best beach in the world!
Whistler Street Bicycle Parking Station
A bicycle parking station with a capacity of 72 bicycles now exists on the ground floor of the Whistler Street car parking station to provide current and future cyclists with a convenient and lockable location to store their bicycles within Manly CBD. Cyclists using this facility are offered an increased level of security over the existing bicycle racks that exist around Manly as well as the added benefit of getting their bikes out of the rain.
Users are charged a one-off access card fee of $50 per bicycle parking space with no on-going fees.
