| Ride around the Rivers
Ride 1 - Causeway (Perth side) to Narrows Bridge
Commence your ride at the Causeway car park on Riverside Drive, where it is free to park on weekends. Keeping the river to your left, ride west along the shared path.
Continue past Plain Street and Victoria Avenue lights. Ride through a shady grove of date palms and proceed past the historic West Australian Rowing Club.
Turn left onto the pathway at Barrack Street and follow it around past the ferry offices. Watch out for pedestrians, especially when a ferry has just docked.
Rejoin the shared path on your left and continue west on a gentle slope to the Narrows Bridge underpass.
This section gives you excellent views of the South Perth foreshore and the section of the Swan River known as Perth Water.
Note: The following directions apply if you wish to gain access to the Narrows Bridge:
Proceed towards the bridge until you arrive at a tunnel on your right. This tunnel will take you under Riverside Drive.
Cycle through the tunnel and take the shared path on your left which winds through a botanical garden. There are public toilets in the gardens and shaded lawn areas if you need a short rest.
Continue on through a second tunnel and up to a slight rise onto the Narrows Bridge shared path. Enjoy the scenic views of Perth and Kings Park that the bridge has to offer, or continue on to the South Perth foreshore.
