Bicycle
Sydney traffic can be intimidating, but there are an increasing number of separated bike
lanes; see www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au . Helmets are compulsory.
There's no charge for taking a bike on CityRail trains, except during peak hours (6am to
9am and 3.30pm to 7.30pm Monday to Friday) when you will need to purchase a child's
ticket for the bike. Bikes travel for free on Sydney's ferries, which usually have bicycle
racks (first come, first served). Buses are no-go zones for bikes.
Many cycle-hire shops require a hefty credit-card deposit. For hire, see the following:
