I’m brand new to cycling so feeling my way somewhat! I’ve got some suggestions for Spreydon if they’re of any use:
Beginner’s ride: Barrington Park, Sydenham Cemetery/Somerfield Park, Heathcote River path (but watch out for pedestrians!)
First quiet street options: Most of the residential streets that run east/west between the major north/south arteries.
Useful cycleways: Sadly not much in Spreydon itself (only short routes through Barrington Park, Sydenham Cemetery/Somerfield Park) but Collins Street/Grove Road, the Heathcote River shared path, and Tennyson Street aren’t far away.
Great destinations: Zeroes Café (for real cyclists!), Pioneer Stadium, or pop to the shops at Barrington Mall.
Insider’s Tips: I’ve only just started cycling so can’t really give you much info! Erm… there are lots of bike shops!
