Cycling
Mosman is fast becoming an excellent place to cycle. The cycling network within and adjacent to Mosman is constantly improving and expanding. Existing routes already connect much of the Municipality to local shops and business, schools, and our many natural reserves, beaches and parks. A regional route has been developed to provide stronger cycling connections to the Northern Beaches, North Sydney and the greater cycling network.
Tips for Beginners
If you need some help getting started, there are many great resources out there covering topics such as choosing the right clothing and equipment, understanding cycling etiquette and riding safety, and finding the best routes. Bicycle Network is a great place to start.
Our tip is to plan your trip in advance! If there is a section that you are not comfortable to ride on, don’t give up – if there is a footpath, you can always dismount and use it to safely pass that section.
Mosman Walking and Cycling Strategy 2023-2028
Council recognises the great importance of walking and cycling as a means of travel and is dedicated to improving walking and cycling infrastructure and education to make Mosman a more liveable and attractive area.
Accordingly Council drafted a “Walking and Cycling Strategy”, placed it on public exhibition and finalised the “Walking and Cycling Strategy 2023-2028”, considering the community feedback. Thereafter this Strategy was endorsed and approved by Council in June 2023.

Active Transport Community Consultative Committee
The Active Transport Community Consultative Committee was first formed in 2010 to facilitate the implementation of the Mosman Strategic Plan (MOSPLAN) objectives in relation to active transport.
This Committee serves as an advisory group to Council, and membership comprises Councillors, Council staff and nominated Community representatives. The group meets regularly and the meeting minutes are reported to the Council.
