The Hills Shire is one of the fastest changing areas of Sydney yet cycling has not been a significant transport option given the geography and long commutes. In 2022 The Hills Council released its new Bike Plan and Bike North and the community are working to see it be realised.

Bike North’s Hornsby Advocacy Group is assisting Hornsby Council to facilitate bike use for transport and recreation. Key projects include the Epping to Pennant Hills Cycleway and important new Shared User Paths near the Hornsby CBD.

In 2021 Hunters Hill Council approved a new Bike Plan and allocated funds which now need to be directed to the most important needs for cyclists.

In 2022 Ku-rin-gai Council approved the formation of an Active Transport Advisory Committee. The community can now work with council to improve facilities in the municipality.

With the change of council in late 2021, there is the prospect of increased interest in cycling in Lane Cove.

Bike North members are active in cycling advocacy in the North Sydney area, with many active issues and locations.

The Parramatta Council is active in its efforts to improve cycling through the Cycleways Advisory Committee. Over many years it has worked hard to get funding for the Parramatta Valley Cycleway.

Current projects are the escarpment boardwalk and the Active Transport Link along the new Parramatta Light Rail.

 Ryde Council has had a commitment to cycling through a regular substantial budget for a number of years.  This has seen important infrastructure such as the Pittwater Rd Shared Users Pathway and the recently approved GreenLinks project get the go-ahead.

Willoughby Council has a commitment to cycling and has planning well under way for key routes, such as the Herbert St and Hampden Rd route and Pacific Highway route.
