Cycling
Cycling is an excellent way to explore Perth. Kings Park has some good bike tracks and
there are cycling routes along the Swan River, running all the way to Fremantle, and along
the coast. Bikes can be taken free of charge on ferries at any time and on trains outside of
weekday peak hours (7am to 9am and 4pm to 6.30pm) - with a bit of planning you can
pedal as far as you like in one direction and return via public transport. Bikes can't be
taken on buses at any time, except some regional coaches (for a small charge). For route
maps, see
www.transport.wa.gov.au/cycling/
or call into a bike shop.
