A friend bought our passengers a trike tour present Sydney. They don’t live in Sydney so they drove into town and parked downtown. Craig picked them up and took them on the adventure of a lifetime. Firstly they rode over the Sydney Harbour Bridge where stopped for photos at Kirribilli, how could they not!

The view across the harbour to the Sydney Opera House is beautiful. There is also a great view of the Harbour Bridge from underneath. They continued on and did the 3 Bridges ride.

It takes us through the lower northern beaches, through suburbs such as Crows Nest and Lane Cove. This joins the Gladesville Bridge which has one of the best views towards Sydney Harbour. It is a different perspective than most visitors to Sydney see.

They joined a main arterial road, Victoria Road. This winds through some of the inner west suburbs – Drummoyne and Rozelle. The next bridge they travelled over was the impressive ANZAC Bridge. The architectural design is incredible and it is more incredible on the back of a motorcycle.

Craig then rode through the city before dropping the passengers back at their car. A trike tour present Sydney was the best ever present they could have received!

The Anzac Bridge is an 8-lane cable-stayed bridge spanning Johnstons Bay between Pyrmont and Glebe Island (part of the suburb of Rozelle), close to the central business district of Sydney, Australia. The bridge forms part of the Western Distributor leading from the Sydney CBD and Cross City Tunnel to the Inner West and Northern Suburbs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_Bridge

Our passengers decided to explore Sydney by trike and they loved the experience. Steve picked them up from their hotel and took them east. Firstly they rode through the city before riding through the lovely Centennial Park. The next destination was Bronte Beach on the south east. Then they drove past the small but pretty Tamarama Beach.

Of course no exploration of Sydney is complete without riding past Bondi Beach where they stopped for a quick stretch. Then they rode out to The Gap which has lovely views to the rock formations of the coast and the ocean. They stopped for a couple of photos before heading through the eastern suburbs of Rose Bay, Double Bay.

Then they rode through the infamous Kings Cross, past Finger Wharf in Woolloomooloo. The Royal Botanical Gardens are lovely to drive through with views of the harbour, the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Riding through part of the gardens meant they rode past Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. They continued on through the city to drop off at their hotel.

The explore Sydney by trike tour was an absolutely fun and memorable experience. They loved it and saw so much along the way.

The Gap is an ocean cliff on the South Head peninsula in eastern Sydney. The area, which faces the Tasman Sea, is located in the eastern suburb of Watsons Bay, in the Municipality of Woollahra, near South Head. Although the cliff is a popular visitor destination, it has an infamy for suicides.

The Gap is a well known place for suicides in Australia. The tall cliffs have made it a location for those wishing to end their lives. Many measures have been implemented to dissuade those at risk of suicide, these include security cameras to monitor the area, several purpose-built Lifeline counselling phone booths, and information boards from the Black Dog Institute and Beyondblue. An inward-leaning fence has also been erected to deter people from jumping.

A Harbour Bridge trike experience was organised for our passengers. It was a ‘last minute’ decision of theirs to do such a fun experience. Craig picked them up from their hotel and rode them through the city and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

They stopped at McMahons Point for photos and to see the lovely view across Sydney Harbour to the Opera House. It really is a beautiful city. Craig then took them back over the bridge to their hotel. They had such a great Harbour Bridge trike ride, it really was a memorable experience.

The Sydney Opera House is a modern expressionist design, with a series of large precast concrete “shells”, each composed of sections of a sphere of 75.2 metres (246 ft 8.6 in) radius, forming the roofs of the structure, set on a monumental podium. The building covers 1.8 hectares (4.4 acres) of land and is 183 m (600 ft) long and 120 m (394 ft) wide at its widest point. It is supported on 588 concrete piers sunk as much as 25 m (82 ft) below sea level.

Although the roof structures are commonly referred to as “shells” they are precast concrete panels supported by precast concrete ribs, not shells in a strictly structural sense.

Though the shells appear uniformly white from a distance, they actually feature a subtle chevron pattern composed of 1,056,006 tiles in two colours: glossy white and matte cream. The tiles were manufactured by the Swedish company Höganäs AB which generally produced stoneware tiles for the paper-mill industry.

Apart from the tile of the shells and the glass curtain walls of the foyer spaces, the building’s exterior is largely clad with aggregate panels composed of pink granite quarried at Tarana, Central West NSW. Significant interior surface treatments also include off-form concrete, Australian white birch plywood supplied from Wauchope in northern New South Wales, and brush box glulam.

School holiday fun Sydney is easy with a trike ride. Grandma organised the experience for her teenage grandchildren for something different and memorable during the school holidays.

They drove to McMahons Point because they live out of the city. This is a good place to park the car and it is safe for our trike and Harley riders to stop. Craig and Steve picked the teens up and rode them through some of the lower north shore suburbs.

Next was the fabulous ride over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. An experience we never tire of as it is an amazing structure. Then they rode around the Royal Botanical Gardens and past Mrs Macquarie’s Chair.

Next was a quick ride through the city and back over the bridge to the car where Grandma was waiting. It was such school holiday fun Sydney and an experience they won’t forget.

McMahons Point is a harbourside suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, NSW Australia. McMahons Point is located 3 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMahons_Point

McMahon’s Point is named after Michael McMahon, a 19-year old Irish farm labourer who arrived in Sydney on Feb 14, 1848 with his brother James. Two years later he married Angelina Faning (of St Heliers, Jersey Islands) and they had several children.

Michael McMahon became a successful and wealthy manufacturer of brushes and combs and in 1864 built the McMahon family home on the headland. He became mayor of the borough of Victoria (later North Sydney) in 1890.

A unique Harley ride inner west Sydney was organised for Alistair. He is in Sydney on holidays from Scotland. He wanted to go over the Sydney Harbour Bridge so someone on reception at his hotel suggested “why not do it on a Harley Davidson”. So the seed was planted! The concierge rang us and we organised Jungle to pick Alistair up.

Alistair didn’t mind where they went after driving over the Harbour Bridge so Jungle took him on a Harley ride inner west Sydney. He saw many places most visitors to our beautiful city don’t get to see. After riding over the bridge they stopped at Kirribilli for photos.

They rode through some of the lower north shore suburbs to the Gladesville Bridge in the inner west. They continued on Victoria Road before they turned off and rode around Iron Cove Bay. This took them through Rodd Point and along Henley Marine Drive. It follows some of the 7km Bay Run.

Next was an historical tour of Balmain. The historical Balmain Power Station, Dr Balmain’s original house and past the oldest bowling club in Australia. Then he was ridden back to his hotel to continue exploring Sydney on foot. If you’d like to do a Harley ride inner west Sydney and see something different to all the touristy parts, contact us for more information.

The area now known as Balmain was part of a 550 acres (2.2 km2) grant to colonial surgeon Dr William Balmain (1762–1803) made in 1800 by Governor John Hunter. A year later, Balmain transferred his entire holding to settle a debt to John Borthwick Gilchrist before returning to Scotland. The legality of the land transfer from Balmain to Gilchrist for only 5 shillings was challenged by Balmain’s descendents and further development of the area was blocked.
