Background

The City of Sydney supports share bikes as a sustainable, low-cost transport option for everyday travel and deliveries. Use has grown rapidly, with 3.7 million trips in 2025 (a 91% increase from 2024. However, the rise in share bike and food delivery use has led to more bikes parked on footpaths in busy pedestrian areas. The community is requesting that these bikes be parked on the road to protect footpath amenity.
