What makes Self Guided Electric Bike Tour of Sydney a unique experience ?
The view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself. Nicknamed “The Coathanger” because of its arch-based design.
Cyclists use the cycleway on the Western side. It is a great way to see the harbour and a lot of locals don’t know it exists. You can take a side trip over the bridge later on the tour if you have time.
Sydney Cove, on which Circular Quay is located, was the site of the initial landing of the First Fleet in Port Jackson on 26 January 1788.
Circular Quay is a focal point for community celebrations, due to its central Sydney location between the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is one of the main congregation points for Sydney New Year’s Eve.
The Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as one of the world’s most famous and distinctive buildings and a masterpiece of 20th-century architecture.
Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, but completed by an Australian architectural team, the building was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1973. The government’s decision to build Utzon’s design is often overshadowed by circumstances that followed, including cost and scheduling overruns as well as the architect’s ultimate resignation.
The Gardens are an oasis in the heart of Sydney, with views of the harbour. Enjoy some me time at Australia’s oldest botanic garden.
Opened in 1816, the garden is the oldest scientific institution in Australia and one of the most important historic botanical institutions in the world.

The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW), founded as the New South Wales Academy of Art in 1872 and known as the National Art Gallery of New South Wales between 1883 and 1958, is located in The Domain, Sydney, Australia. It is the most important public gallery in Sydney and one of the largest in Australia.
The gallery’s first public exhibition opened in 1874. Admission is free to the general exhibition space, which displays Australian art (including Indigenous Australian art), European and Asian art. A dedicated Asian Gallery was opened in 2003.
This once-in-a-generation project is an important transformation of our flagship public institution into a two-building art museum that almost doubles the space for the display and enjoyment of art, providing more art for more people.
A new standalone building, public art garden and revitalised historic building brings together art, architecture and landscape in spectacular new ways, with dynamic galleries, site-specific works by leading Australian and international artists, and extensive outdoor spaces for everyone to enjoy.
The $344 million Sydney Modern Project is the most significant cultural development in the city since the opening of the Sydney Opera House nearly half a century ago. Together with the NSW Government’s $244 million in funding, the Art Gallery has raised more than $100 million from private donors to support this significant investment in art and culture for future generations.
The Finger Wharf is a heritage-listed former wharf and passenger terminal and now marina, “luxury” residential apartments, hotel and restaurant. It was designed by Henry D. Walsh and built from 1910 to 1915 by the Sydney Harbour Trust. The structure is the longest timbered-piled wharf in the world.
Today it has been redeveloped as a fashionable complex housing a hotel, restaurants and residential apartments.
Notable residents in the apartments include actor Russell Crowe, billionaire property developer Lang Walker, and media personality John Laws.

The Kings Cross district was Sydney’s bohemian heartland from the early decades of the 20th century. The illegal trading of alcohol, known as sly grog, was notorious in the area up until mid-century, led by rival brothel owners, Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh. For most of the 1900s, the “Cross” was an entertainment centre which hosted numerous clubs and cafes as well as the Kings Cross Theatre, one of Sydney’s earliest movie houses. The area was also home to a large number of artists, including writers, poets and journalists.
From the 1960s onwards Kings Cross also came to serve as both the city’s main tourist accommodation and entertainment mecca, as well as its red-light district.
Today, the ongoing operation of tourist accommodation, the proximity to social housing and health care, and the convenient public transport to the city result in a diverse population, both resident and passing through at Kings Cross.
Once a slum and red-light district, Darlinghurst has undergone urban renewal since the 1980s to become a cosmopolitan area made up of precincts.
Darlinghurst is well known around the world as the centre of Sydney’s gay community, with it’s yearly parade of the Sydney Mardi Gras and the spiritual birthplace of the LGBTQ rights movement. It is home to a number of prominent gay venues and businesses, while more broadly Darlinghurst is a centre of Sydney’s burgeoning small bar scene.
Demographically, Darlinghurst is home to the highest percentage of generation X and Y in Australia. The majority of businesses in Darlinghurst are independently owned and operated small businesses with over 50% of all commercial activity in the area being consumer oriented: indie retail, food, drink, dining, leisure and personal services. Darlinghurst is also home to large number of off-street creative industries.

The City of Sydney painted a giant rainbow crossing on the corner of Bourke and Campbell streets. The symbol’s origins can be traced back more than 4 decades.
San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker designed the first rainbow flag in 1978. While the current version has 6 stripes – red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet – the original flag also featured pink and turquoise.
Surry Hills is an evolving area known for its stylish cultural and cafe scene. Terraced houses on Crown and Cleveland streets showcase hip coffee joints, fashion boutiques and global eateries. Trendy pubs, wine bars and galleries dot the area around Surry Hills Library, a community hub with a contemporary, sustainable design.
Stretching 4.3 km from Woolloomooloo to Waterloo, the Bourke Street Bicycle Route (or the “Loo to Loo”as it is sometimes called) links Sydney’s harbour to a newly developed urban residential village.
Climbing steep hills, passing through industrial, commercial and residential neighbourhoods, juxtaposing both garbage and glamour, the chic and seedy, the route stitches together snapshots of Sydney life. It alone has activated its surroundings, generating business, while changing the relationship between pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle.
