Bike share
Inner West Council supports shared electric bikes as a transport option and we acknowledge their increasing impacts on the community and our streets and parks.
Councils have no direct power over the provision, regulation or management of shared bikes and we are working with Transport for NSW as part of its proposed regulations. It is understood the new regulations will allow councils to respond more effectively to local conditions and circumstances and staff are working with Transport for NSW to provide input about the Inner West. You can see more information about the NSW Government’s work here.
Safe riding and parking
To stay safe when cycling make sure to wear a helmet and familiarise yourself with the Road Rules. Except for Shared Paths you must ride on the road, not the footpath, to keep pedestrians safe.
Poorly parked bikes can make our footpaths inaccessible for the people using them. Please park bikes safely and keep the walking space clear. Please report any concerns about e-bikes causing obstructions directly to the e-bike companies using the contact details provided below.
