Bob Moore replied to Jas's discussion Working out best path from Erskineville to Circular Quay"When I did a bike count for Supertuesday at corner of City Rd and Broadway there were quite a few cyclists heading down City Rd from presumably Newtown and turning into either Broadway or Bay St, so that might not be too bad a way to go in peak…"
