Sydney is probably less cycling-friendly than you expect. I don't have the source but I remember reading that the trend over the years has been removing bike lanes instead of adding.

Edit:typo




Several new bike lanes were added in inner Sydney during the pandemic, e.g. in Newtown/Erko.


I feel like they've tried to add bike lanes, but there's generally a lot more hills to climb in the inner city, and the culture is more anti-cyclist.

I moved to Melbourne a few years ago and the infrastructure, elevation and culture is much friendlier towards cyclists.


as a road bike cyclist and a driver, i tend to cycle wherever there's a road. so i do understand that i'm a bit biased, but usually it's quite safe riding a bike in a city (due to slow traffic), especially in a place like the CBD in Sydney.
