The way points of this bicycle route:
Only Taxis and Buses can enter Argyle St. So yu have to go under the bridge.
Wait for traffic lights in front of you to go green.
Get off the road here. Cross at the lights then take the overpass to pyrmont
Getting onto Bridge St here is too messy in the traffic. So cross at the lights and follow the bike route.
Haven't got my entrance to Bridge fine tuned yet It's easier to cross the pedestrian lights and follow the bikeway through Union, Miller, Left into Bank St and turn right into Bridge.
I haven't tried going Harris yet.
Sometimes you have to fight with the cars at the roundabout here, they don't let you in. Salisbury Rd has good left lane.
Gilpin St is a good place to get off the hill.
This street is quite narrow and has a steady flow of traffic.
The shown route is the best so far from here to Wardell Rd. It's sometimes hard to turn here because you have to block the traffic behind if the on coming traffic doesn't let you through the roundabout - in these cases I turn up Cambridge.
From here to Livingstone Rd is essentially an prescribe bike route. It's about the best path through the hilly terrain.
William St is OK too.
Bike Lane
You may have to brake at the lights ahead.
Pile St isn't too bad but I've found the traffic has settled down better at George making it easier to turn.
Left hand lane tends to be free here.
Don't go flat out down the hill, there's traffic lights at Ewart St. *** Watchout: There's a bad pot hole between the lanes just before the lights and another in the left lane after the lights.
If there's too many cars just used the pedestrian path on the side of the bridge. The bridge is too narrow for cars to pass. If you use the bridge, own the lane, don't give cars the impression they can pass.
Fricourt avoids going down the hill then up again to some extent.
Take it easy here, the Steep hill ends at a T section on a busy road.
Take the foot path that leads to the overpass.
You can go down the M5 bikeway/pedestrian track but I prefer the road.
