Bike riders coming form the Inner West or the North Shore to the CBD can now enjoy a safer journey with the opening of City of Sydney's first completed cycleway route.

The Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP officially launched the route connecting the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Anzac Bridge at the National Ride to Work Day breakfast in Hyde Park today.

According to Ms Moore, some of the country's largest corporations are supporting Sydney's cycling boom by providing employees with end-of-trip facilities.

The commitment to provide sustainable transport options from the big end of town complements the City of Sydney's own efforts to reduce congestion and keep our city moving, she said.

The Bridge to Bridge route is 2.6km long, and is mostly separated cycleway, separating bikes from the traffic.

Sydney communities consulted for Sustainable Sydney 2030 said they wanted safe cycling routes that could be used to get into and around the city. Since then, further independent research, carried out in June, identified that 84 per cent of Sydney residents regard a bike network as important.

The Bridge to Bridge route involved ongoing consultation with local businesses and residents and City staff are on the ground talking to bike riders and pedestrians to ensure that everyone understands how to safely use the new bike route.

"A number of bike corridors are now being improved in the city and the Bridge to Bridge route is one of many interconnected bicycle routes which will form part of a 200km network that will help keep Sydney moving and ease congestion on our roads," Ms Moore said.
