Safe Travel with Bicycles
Can I take my bicycle on the ferry? What are the safety considerations?
Customers are able to take their bicycle on Sydney Ferries vessels.
Carriage of bicycles is as the discretion of the crew due to safety requirements and may be limited due to capacity constraints. You are not required to purchase a separate ticket for your bicycle.
Safety Considerations:
- Riding of bikes, skateboards and rollerblades etc is strictly prohibited on both wharves and vessels.
- We ask that you push or carry your item while on the wharf or ferry.
- Ensure you have firm hold of your item while using the gangway.
- For the safety and comfort of other passengers we ask that you allow others to board or alight the ferry where possible before taking your bicycle on board.
Storage of your bike on the ferry:
- The Manly service vessels have areas where bicycles can be secured during the journey. Please ask the crew where they are located.
- For all other vessels, please ask the crew to guide you to the most appropriate area to stow your bicycle during the trip.
- Customers must remain with their bicycle during the trip.
Secure bicycle lockers
Cycling to and from a ferry wharf helps reduce the impact that cars have on the environment. A secure bicycle locker allows you to combine cycling with public transport, a healthy alternative to being stuck in a car.
Sydney Ferries is pleased to inform you that the Department of Transport has installed secure bike lockers at eight wharves serviced by Sydney Ferries, in support of commuters who cycle as part of their daily journey.
Think of a secure bicycle locker as your own priority parking. Even better, your locker helps protect your bike, helmet and clothing from theft and vandalism.
Currently, secure bicycle lockers are available at:
Abbotsford, Cabarita, Manly, Meadowbank, Parramatta, Kissing Point, Rose Bay and Rydalmere wharves, as well as many other locations around Sydney. Currently there are the following places available - though it pays to check in case a locker has recently become free!
