SAW Bike Tour.
Five-Suburb Sydney Derivé. |
The Situationist International drifted through the city randomly, deliberately disrupting normal patterns and ways of walking in and experiencing the city; organised spontaneity. ‘Dérivistes or ‘drifters’ as they came to be known, seek to experience bizarre encounters in unfamiliar places and left-over city spaces.
|
|
ON Bikes we will explore Sydney tangentially, drifting along the city's quiet formerly-industrial western edge before plucking out the most interesting and provocative projects and hidden gems in Ultimo, Chippendale, Redfern, Waterloo and Surry Hills.
|
|
|
|
Sticking to bike paths, back lanes and quiet streets, the route and conversation will be structured around a number of contemporary projects, contested sites and politically charged themes. |
|
|
|
| This is no touristic join-the-dots of familiar places. Its an exploration of a very different side of Sydney. an insiders tour with a two-wheeled architectural twist. |

WHAT ELSE
The route is as safe and quiet as possible, a combination of bicycle paths, pavements, laneways and back streets. However, you will still need to be a reasonably confident cyclist. Gloves are a great idea if its cold, and a sun visor or beanie will fit under your helmet. Sunscreen is also a great idea (don't forget the back of your neck and hands!). Rain coat provided in case of unexpected wet weather.

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS REALLY LOUSY
We will not compromise your safety (and we're not complete sadists) so if it looks like there will be shitty weather (and we're not talking a little bit of drizzle) the tour will be cancelled and you will receive a full refund. We require a cell/mobile number as part of your booking and will contact you at least 90 minutes before the scheduled tour if (and only if) it is cancelled. |
WHAT IF I WANT TO CANCEL?
Your payment is fully refundable if your booking is cancelled 72 hours or more before hand. The 100% refund will be applied directly to your credit card. Payment will not be refunded for any other reason (i.e. weather, change of travel plans, illness, missed train, missed plane, overslept...) within 72 hours of the scheduled tour. |
