Cycling

If you already ride a bike, you’ll know what fun it can be – especially when you’re on some of the beautiful NT bike paths. But it can be a bit daunting for anyone who is not used to riding.

Start slowly - just ride part of the way to your destination and then catch a bus, or ride one way and catch the bus back. There are now secure bicycle storage areas at the Darwin and Palmerston bus interchanges. Many workplaces have safe storage, and schools usually have good bicycle storage facilties.

Always carry water and watch out for pedestrians - most of our cycle paths are shared use.

There are great maps available for Darwin, Palmerston, Alice Springs and Katherine. Explore your place by bike - it's worth it.
