“Cycling has become the most rapidly growing form of outdoor recreation, not only in Western Australia, but also in many other parts of the world”.
There is currently 10kms of dual use path (pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchairs) on West Swan Road and, which provide an opportunity for visitors and residents to get out and see some of the attractions the Swan Valley has to offer, while enjoying some exercise.
There are also further stretches of dual use path at various locations throughout the region including at the top of Great Northern Highway. It is suggested that you drive to and park your car at Maali Bridge (access from Great Northern Highway – see map) and commence your bike ride from there. From here cross the Swan River (Maali Bridge) and you are able to access a number of tourist attractions on West Swan Road via 10 kilometres of dual use path.
Interpretive elements of the trail have been recently installed, giving visitors an insight into the Heritage and Historic relevance to the area. Cycle friendly businesses have facililties that will make you feel welcome as you discover the beauty and experiences that await.
