Bicycling in Sydney
Surprisingly, it doesn't seem like bicycling is nearly as popular here as in the States. I did find a bike rental place in a large park called Centennial Park. I got a half-day rental on a mountain bike (they were out of hybrid-style bikes, which would be better for city riding), and rode around the Eastern Suburbs a bit. Here is a map of the ride (click to see the full resolution):
If you want to pan through the whole map with Google Maps, use this addres: "Hamilton Dr, Centennial Park, NSW 2021, Australia"
I really should update this blog more often! I'm planning on going to the New Years Eve fireworks tomorrow; Sydney has one of the world's largest fireworks shows on New Years Eve. There are actually two fireworks shows, one at 9:00 for families and then the main show at midnight. There are also speciailzed pyrotechnics set up on the Harbour Bridge. It will be awesome.
