Brian Yap replied to Matt's discussion Rides around Sydney in the group Slow Bicycle Movement - Sydney"I ride my trike up the cooks river trail all the time. I have a trike with a fairly tight turning circle and I have no problem with the islands. I only have trouble getting under Canterbury Road, well I can't so I go up the other side and over…"

Mark replied to Brian Yap's discussion water and other things in the group Open Cycle Map"Marking where water is available along the 40km M7 cycleway would be easy. There's only one place.
On a serious note, I think that both the locations of drinking water and toilets would help"
Brian Yap replied to Dabba's discussion Touring on the cheap? in the group touring"I was told that you can camp for free in NSW State forests. In other states you can stay overnight in some road side stops.
Myself I prefer to stay in caravan parks when in town and camp in the bush if I am in a national park."
Brian Yap replied to RobK's discussion Touring - Pseudo questionaire in the group touring"1. 2 or 3 days near sydney is good for me for the moment. Maybe longer if there is a good reason to go there.
2. I prefer small groups. I used to go riding in a group of 3 with my school friends. We would catch the train out of Melbourne and then…"
Neil Alexander replied to Brian Yap's discussion water and other things in the group Open Cycle Map"And toilets. We need to mark toilets.
Picnic tables are also useful...
Hmmm, could become time consuming."

water and other things
The other day I did a ride to Kurnell. Along the way there are many drinking fountains and taps to fill up the water bottle. The following weekend I went up by lane cove and there were almost none. So I was thinking that we should also mark where there are drinking fountains and taps you can use to fill up the water bottle for riding on hot days. Maybe there are other things like this that need to be included. I must admit, I have not been into OSM to see if there is a tagging standard for this.
