wedding anniversary trike – Carmen + Matthew 21.01.23

The wedding anniversary trike tour was a great experience. From South Australia, they are in Sydney for a holiday. Afterwards they emailed “We can’t wait to come back soon with the kids so they can enjoy the experience as well.”

Google Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“My Wife & I had the most enjoyable experience with a wonderful Trike ride around the CBD & surrounding suburbs with Syl who was an awesome tour guide with plenty of knowledge of the area.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our 1st Wedding Anniversary visiting Sydney from Adelaide & we both strongly recommend this experience.

Can’t wait to do it all again soon!”

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode through the city and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passenger to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. Back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and into the city.

St Mary’s Cathedral, Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross

Past St Mary’s Cathedral which is very impressive, even when riding past. It’s a Gothic Revival architectural building which opened in 1928. It took from 1866 to 1928 to build and has a height of 75m. Next, they rode through the inner eastern suburb of Woolloomoolloo and past the famous Harry Cafe De Wheels. Harry’s Café de Wheels has been serving customers for over 80 years. They make delicious pies, hotdogs and more. Then it was up the hill and through Kings Cross.

Eastern suburbs

Continuing on, they rode through the infamous Kings Cross, though it has calmed down a lot since it’s heyday – home of the famous and huge Coca Cola sign. Kings Cross is also home to nightclubs and ladies of the night though it is not nearly as raunchy as it was in the 1970s (apparently).

After there, they headed east through the posh suburbs of the eastern suburbs of Sydney, including the Bays: Rose Bay, Double Bay and Rushcutters Bay.

North Bondi and Brighton Lookout

There are a couple of lookouts at the North Bondi headland. They all offer beautiful views of Bondi Beach and out to the Tasman Sea, part of the South Pacific Ocean. Brian stopped there for a few photos and so they could admire the view. So far, the wedding anniversary trike tour is fun, scenic and interesting.

Bondi Beach

Finally, they drove past the world famous Bondi Beach to the south side. Looking from the two ends of the beach give a different perspective. This is the beach where Bondi Lifeguards of the Bondi Rescue TV series is filmed. When in Sydney it is one of the places you should visit. The beach is seriously nice (but not our favourite) and we usually stop near the lifeguard station, made famous by the TV series “Bondi Rescue”. Bondi Beach is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia. Bondi Beach is recorded by the Australian Museum that Bondi means place where a fight using boondi sticks (nullas nullas or fighting sticks) took place.

However, the 1.5 hours was almost up. So our trike rider Syl rode back through the city and dropped them off at their hotel. In conclusion, the wedding anniversary trike tour was the perfect way to celebrate. Feel the Freedom!

dad daughter trike tour – Charlie + Laura 17.01.23

The dad daughter trike tour was organised by Laura. She thought it would be a fun and bonding experience for her and her dad.

Testimonial

“We had a fantastic time thank you and yes, it is fine to post on your socials.

It was a really exciting ride. We felt safe and well looked after by our driver who had great local knowledge. Would highly recommend this experience!”

Laura

Manly Vale

Our trike rider Steve, picked the passengers up from dad’s home in Manly Vale. Manly Vale is home to the heritage-listed Manly Dam. The reservoir and dam was added to the NSW State Heritage Register on 18 November 1999. Firstly, they rode through some of the Northern Beaches suburbs to get to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Balgowlah was named in 1832 after an Aboriginal word meaning north harbour in reference to its position from Port Jackson.
Clontarf (Irish: Cluain Tarbh, meaning “meadow of the bull”) is a lovely beachside suburb.

The Spit

The Spit is a suburb in its own right. It protrudes off Beauty Point and is home to the Spit Bridge, a bascule bridge opened in 1958 over Middle Harbour. The bridge opens at set times to allow yachts with high masts to pass. Crossing the Spit Bridge is fun, it has great views of Middle Harbour.

Balmoral Beach

Riding on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. Everyone who comes here loves it! Balmoral Beach is not so well known by visitors and tourists, but the stunning natural beauty of the beach and surrounds make it well worth a visit. So far, the dad daughter trike tour was a lot of fun, scenic and memorable.

Continuing south west, they rode through Cremorne, Mosman to Kirribilli.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge.

surprise birthday present – Walid 15.01.23

The surprise birthday present was to Walid from his wife. The whole family had come into Sydney city for lunch. Our Harley rider picked him up after lunch near St James Station.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode through the city and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passenger to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

Then they rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

Continuing on, through North Sydney and Crows Nest before joining River Road. It is a fun road to ride on. River Road leads to Burns Bay Road which, in turn, leads to another bridge but not one of the main three.

Fig Tree Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge, Gladesville Bridge

The Fig Tree Bridge opened in 1963 and spans the Lane Cove River. After that bridge, they continued on and crossed the second of the bridges Tarban Creek Bridge. This spans Tarban Creek, likewise, it has nice views east to the Harbour Bridge. Then they got to bridge #2 of the main 3 Bridges, the Gladesville Bridge. It has wonderful views along Parramatta River towards the Harbour Bridge and the city.

This bridge is on the main arterial thoroughfare of Victoria Road. They travelled along for a short while before turning off into the inner west suburb of Drummoyne. Following the shoreline of Iron Cove, which is part of the Parramatta River, they saw some lovely water views. It is part of the 7 km long Bay Run. So far, the surprise birthday present was a great experience.

ANZAC Bridge

Our favourite bridge is the ANZAC Bridge. We think it is incredible, a work of art and design. It is main bridge #3. Similarly, it is also great to see without a roof over your head inhibiting the view.

Most noteworthy, the stay cable design concept development and final design for the new bridge were carried out by the Roads & Traffic Authority of NSW. Finally, the bridge was opened to traffic on 03 December 1995 as the Glebe Island Bridge.

The bridge was given its current name on Remembrance Day in 1998 to honour the memory of the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (known as Anzacs) who served in World War I.

However, the 1 hour was up so Phil dropped Walid back to the rest of his family. In conclusion, the surprise birthday present was a big success and a lot of fun. Walid is a local Sydneysider but saw so much he hadn’t seen before.

non verbal autistic Xmas gift – Byron + Family 15.01.23

Byron’s Mum organised the non verbal autistic Xmas gift for him. It is a challenge to find experience’s he can cope with. This he did and loved it according to his Mum Kirsty.

Google Review

“We organised a gift voucher for our sons Christmas present. Our son, is non verbal autistic so experiences can be challenging. He loves to drive, so thought the trike ride might be a winner & it was!
From the minute I inquired, Katrina was accommodating & responsive.


We had Brian & Kym on the two trikes, which accommodated our family of 4. It was a fantastic experience, cruising the eastern suburb beaches. We felt like we were on holidays in our own city. Both Kym & Brian were accommodating with our son’s needs.
We will definitely book again as a special treat.”

Kirsty

Maroubra Beach

The family comes from the SW of Sydney, so they drove to Maroubra Beach and met our two trike riders outside the Maroubra Seals Sports and Community Club. Firstly, our trike riders rode past Maroubra Beach, Maroubra is a local Aboriginal word meaning place of thunder. The first house built in the area was in 1861, so it has plenty of history.

Coogee Beach

Next, they rode north along the coast and past Coogee Beach. It is a great beach with calm surf and is family-friendly. The promenade area has restored historic buildings and nurtured parklands.

Bronte

Riding further north, along more beautiful, though possibly less well known, beaches. Bronte Beach sits on Nelson Bay, surrounded by Bronte Park. Bronte offers scenic cliff-top walking paths south to Coogee via the Waverley Cemetery and north to Tamarama and Bondi Beach. So far, the non verbal autistic Xmas gift is a fun experience.

Tamarama

Yet further north, the suburb of Tamarama has a small ocean beach about 1 kilometre south of Bondi Beach and a couple of hundred metres north of Bronte Beach. It is an extremely narrow beach and deceptive for its size. Tamarama Beach is often referred to as Glamarama (or Glamourama), owing to the alleged abundance of glamorous people who sunbathe (often topless), on what must be one of the smallest strips of sand in the state (Wikipedia).

However, the hour was half up. So our riders turned around and rode back a different route. They dropped the happy passengers back at their car. In conclusion, the non verbal autistic Xmas gift was a great success. Byron had a lot of fun, as did his brother and parents.

birthday gift trike ride – George + Kim 15.01.23

The birthday gift trike ride has been a long time in the making! Kim bought the tour for her husband back in March 2022. When they were in Sydney the weather was horrible so the ride was postponed. Finally, they are back in Sydney for a holiday now so we could finally take them on the ride. They drove into Sydney CBD and our trike rider picked them up at the parking station.

Testimonials

We are glad the bug has bitten again ?. Part of an email after the ride, “It was great, my husband is now stir crazy to get back on a motorbike again.”

“Our [official] review:

George finally got to use his birthday present and go on a Troll Tours ride. We both had an amazing time, the weather was superb, absolutely loved having that buzz and would highly recommend doing another tour with these guys. Thanks Brian for the amazing tour!”

George and Kim

The Sydney Opera House

Firstly, they drove past the Sydney Opera House, as close as they can get to anyway.

St Mary’s Cathedral, Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross

Then it was past St Mary’s Cathedral which is very impressive, even when riding past. It’s a Gothic Revival architectural building which opened in 1928. It took from 1866 to 1928 to build and has a height of 75m. Next, they rode through the inner eastern suburb of Woolloomoolloo and past the famous Harry Cafe De Wheels.

North Bondi and Brighton Lookout

There are a couple of lookouts at the North Bondi headland. They all offer beautiful views of Bondi Beach and out to the Tasman Sea, part of the South Pacific Ocean. Fred stopped there for a few photos and so they could admire the view. So far, on the birthday gift trike ride they have seen some great views and scenic sights.

Bondi Beach

Next, they drove past the world famous Bondi Beach to the south side. Looking from the two ends of the beach give a different perspective.

Watsons Bay and The Gap

Heading north through some upper class suburbs, they rode to “The Gap” and stopped for photos. The view towards North Head and out to the South Pacific Ocean. Watsons Bay sits on the end of the South Head peninsula. So far, on the trike tour experience in Sydney they have seen some great views and scenic sights.

However, the 1.5 hours was almost up, so Brian turned around, rode through the city and dropped them back at their car. In conclusion, the birthday gift trike ride was a fabulous experience.

cerebral palsy trike tour – Alex + Nick 14.01.23

The cerebral palsy trike tour was so much fun – yet again ?. The good thing about trikes is that most people with a disability can go on them. Some can go on a Harley (we had one on a Harley today) but most prefer a trike. Nick has done a trike tour with us for about 6 years, a couple of times each year (more if he is allowed ?). Our trike rider met them at Kirribilli, as usual.

Kirribilli

Firstly, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

Next, they rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

St Mary’s Cathedral, Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross

Past St Mary’s Cathedral which is very impressive, even when riding past. It’s a Gothic Revival architectural building which opened in 1928.

Bondi Beach is recorded by the Australian Museum that Bondi means place where a fight using boondi sticks (nullas nullas or fighting sticks) took place.

However, the 1.5 hours was almost up. So our trike rider Brian had to turn back, take them back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to their van at Kirribilli. In conclusion, the cerebral palsy trike tour was yet another happy and fun time for Nick and his carer. They both had such a great time – Feel the Freedom!

birthday disability Harley tour – Andrew 14.01.23

The birthday disability Harley tour was organised by a different disability service from our last ride. We have done a few rides for this group so when Andrew mentioned he wanted to go on a Harley, they contacted us. What a great way to celebrate his birthday!

Our Harley rider met him and his carer at North Sydney Station.

Kirribilli

Firstly, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge.

disability trike tour – Tim + William 10.01.23

The disability-trike-tour was organised by a disability service/agency. William has really wanted to go on a motorbike so the trike was a great option. His carer came along with him. They both had a brilliant ride, as you can see by their faces.

Our trike rider picked them up from one of our most popular pick up spots, Circular Quay.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Firstly, they rode through the city and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always tell our passenger to look up and enjoy the unique view. The more than 6,000,000 rivets are so interesting and the arch is so iconic. It’s nicknamed ‘The Coathanger’ because of its arch-based design. It is the largest steel arch bridge in the world.

Kirribilli

Next, they rode past Kirribilli House. Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. After that, they rode around the corner to Jeffrey Street Wharf. From here, the views across Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney Opera House and the CBD are magnificent. In addition, it also has an up-close view of the side and underneath of the bridge. A perfect place to stop for photos. So far, the disability trike tour was a lot of fun.

The Kirribilli Loop

They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool. Back over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and into the city. There was still time left so the rider did a tour of part of Sydney CBD.

St Mary’s Cathedral, Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross

Past St Mary’s Cathedral which is very impressive, even when riding past. It’s a Gothic Revival architectural building which opened in 1928. It took from 1866 to 1928 to build and has a height of 75m. Next, they rode through the inner eastern suburb of Woolloomoolloo and past the famous Harry Cafe De Wheels. Harry’s Café de Wheels has been serving customers for over 80 years. They make delicious pies, hotdogs and more. Then it was up the hill and through Kings Cross.

Eastern suburbs

Continuing on, they rode through the infamous Kings Cross, though it has calmed down a lot since it’s heyday – home of the famous and huge Coca Cola sign. Kings Cross is also home to nightclubs and ladies of the night though it is not nearly as raunchy as it was in the 1970s (apparently). However, the hour was almost up, so Brian rode them past the Domain and back to Circular Quay.

Manly trike tour – Grace + Phil 09.01.23

Siobhan organised the Manly trike tour for her partner and friend. Our trike rider Steve, picked them up from Blues Point, just north of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Blues Point Reserve

Firstly, Steve took photos of the passengers at Blues Point, the pick up place. This area has just recently been upgraded and is so much better than the dirt that used to be here. The views over Blues Bay towards the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the CBD are just stunning. All the more stunning because of the lovely weather. Another perfect place for photos.

The Kirribilli Loop

Then they rode on to and through Milsons Point. They rode under the north side of the bridge and continued on their tour. The underside of the northern end of the SHB – Sydney Harbour Bridge – is very interesting. The Kirribilli Loop was finished by riding past Luna Park and the North Sydney Olympic Pool.

lower North Shore suburbs

Continuing east, they rode through Cremorne, Mosman and down past the Taronga Zoo to Bradleys Head. Make sure you look for the koalas eating and sleeping in the gum trees. So far, the Manly trike tour is a huge success.

Bradleys Head and Balmoral Beach

Similarly, Bradleys Head has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the CBD. Riding on, they rode past the lovely posh Balmoral Beach. Everyone who comes here loves it! Balmoral Beach is not so well known by visitors and tourists, but the stunning natural beauty of the beach and surrounds make it well worth a visit. Crossing the Spit Bridge is fun, it has great views of Middle Harbour.

After Balmoral Beach they continued on past, Seaforth and Clontarf before stopping at Tania Park. Tania Park is on Dobroyd Head with stunning views looking across Sydney Harbour and through North and South Heads. Arabanoo lookout at Dobroyd Head is named in honour of Arabanoo, the first Aboriginal man to live among European settlers. It’s a great spot for whale watching, offering views over North and South Head and the Pacific Ocean.

Manly + Queenscliff

Then it was down the hill into Manly. They rode past Manly Beach and up past Queenscliff, which is really northern Manly. However, the hour was up so Fred turned around, drove back past Manly Beach and dropped the passengers off. There are plenty of good restaurants in Manly so they had a pick of places for lunch. Then they could explore the area before catching a ferry back to the Sydney CBD.

In conclusion, the Manly trike tour was a big success. Our passengers saw more than they would have by themselves.
