Looking for the best kid-friendly bike tracks in Sydney? Of course you are! Learning to ride a trike and then a bike is one of the great childhood rites of passage.

If you are looking for a great Sydney bike track for kids, let me show you heaps of them. Sydney has many wonderful outdoors learn-to-ride bike tracks suitable for children. And they’re all free.

If your child is learning how to ride their balance bike, these will be perfect for them. Not only will it help them learn how to ride in a safe environment, but they’ll make friends with other children their age that are learning how to ride.

Here follows a list of the best kids bike tracks we have come across throughout Sydney. They’re listed here alphabetically by name of the bike track. To check them out by suburb, click here.

You do not need me to tell you that bicycle safety is vital, always wear a helmet of course and teach your kids all the rules they will need on the roads whilst they are learning on these bike tracks.
