I must try that way - i always go Oxford then through Hyde Park - I can see doing Bourke William/Park would be a lot less stressful than negotiating the Oxford College intersection. Not that ive never done Bourke St to get to say Circular Quay or th…
I think the best option when going east of Taylor Square is instead of using Oxford St - use the bus lane on Flinders St - and turn left into Moore Park Rd - which has a cycleway - then go through Centennial Park using Carrington Dr - then use Oxfor…
There is also the option to go down the William St green cycle lane and up the Bourke Street cycleway. But as you already know that is just a silly going down the hill to go up a hill thing that all cyclists would never do. College St and Oxford St…

I would never consider a bike hire scheme in Sydney and the removal of MHL unless they mall George St f…
Shall we join with the southern folk and also have a sans helmet day protest tomorrow. Might be nice to ride Bourke St to the Wooloomooloo Festival without a helmet.
