laffi Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 OK, I decided I want to enter ET this year What are the good places in Sydney where you can bike with your dog without getting arrested ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeak Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 She's moving to the Sutherland Shire. I always wondered about Centennial Park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruthless Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I don't know that area, hopefully someone else can help I was told before to try cycling around the cricket grounds in Sydney Park [inner West]. I haven't yet though. I just go around my area on the footpath, early in the morning or late in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't yet though. I just go around my area on the footpath, early in the morning or late in the evening. I am willing to drive to a nice place so it doesn't necessary have to be the Shire Edited January 15, 2009 by laffi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonElite Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I always did it in my neighbourhood in quiet streets, on the foot path. I mean Im on the bike on the footpath, dog on the grass where possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I had a thought about factory estates on the weekends (particularly Sundays they are deserted) I doubt there would be many lycra peoples down there. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hmmm.... on the factory estates idea, there's a little industrial estate down in Kirrawee on the Sutherland side of the highway that has massively wide road shoulders and is always very quiet on the weekend. The Shire is pretty relaxed. I've never seen or heard of anyone getting pulled up on any dog-related issue (outside of the National Parks) and I think there are frequently law breakers. Como oval specifically says no dogs and there are nearly always dogs on it whenever we go by. On that note, the roads around Como are narrow so the traffic is usually slow, and there's a bike path that goes across the river. I don't know how far it goes, but seems to extend into Oatley some. When you move to the Shire can you show me some frisbee stuff? I've been DYING to do frisbee, but unfortunately my big hopes for Kivi fell flat when I discovered he couldn't catch a treat if his life depended on it let alone a frisbee, and despite all my efforts to get him excited about frisbees I'm lucky if I can get him to bounce after one twice in a row! My Lappie is not a drivey creature at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However my golden isn't as fast and doesn't have as much drive, so teaching her was/is much harder. I also have a great 'how to teach frisbee' DVD. Let me know if you want to borrow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrsdog Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 When a group from Sutherland club decided to do ET they cycled around the bike track near the training oval, it is rarely used on Sunday morning and they also did some evenings. Then when they got better they cycled to Brighton and dogs and people went swimming! Another group cycled around Woronora cemetery - lots of quiet roads and the residents don't complain! Dorothee cycles around Kurnell and she doesn't even have her 2 dogs on lead. Don't think I could cycle and also hold dogs lead, but guess you and the dog would get used to it. Noels.
