A 2008 Federal Health Department report says the Federal Government saves more than $220 million a year in health costs alone through people riding bicycles. The map shows you the best cycle connections, the least hilly routes and where to park your bike. With today’s congested major roads, cycling can often be quicker than driving a car or using public transport. And substituting cycling for driving trips will ease the strain on the budget as petrol prices head relentlessly north. Cycling will also help you keep fit and healthy. Everyone can experience significant health benefits by doing 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day. An easy way of achieving this level of activity is to build it into your lifestyle, through activities like cycling to work or to social or sporting events. Building cycling into your day will also help to improve the urban environment we live in and travel around every day. About the Map Routes Routes have been selected by experienced cyclists and are, wherever possible, on quieter suburban streets or on offroad pathways, although the shoulders of some motorways are also shown because they are open to competent adult cyclists. At all times and in all places, though, riders using this map must be aware of surrounding traffic and conditions and be responsible for their own safety. Many of the routes have been signposted by local councils as part of their bike plans. Not all such routes are necessarily shown on the map - isolated or disconnected facilities have often been ignored if they don’t directly assist commuters, particularly those en route to Westmead or Parramatta. In some cases, pedestrian laneways and subways are used to connect useful cycling streets - consider walkers by wheeling bikes when necessary here and beware of flights of steps in some of these locations. Cycling at Sydney Olympic Park (SOP) SOP has over 35km of cycleways. The Kids in the Park Program offers cycling skills education for children 8 to 12. Visit www.kidsinthepark.com.au Specially designed short circuits for children are located on the Village Green at Bicentennial Park, Concord West and Wentworth Common. Three colour-coded circuits of 6, 8 and 15km allow cyclists to explore the Olympic precinct and Bicentennial Park with its heritage features, woodlands and wildlife refuges. Bike Hire is available 7 days a week. See www.sydneyolympicpark.com.au/cycling CYCLING - BUILD IT INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE! PARRAMATTA CBD MAP WHY CYCLE?

(kilojules, that is) As little as 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day, like cycling or walking, can help you improve and maintain good health.
