Introduction
Riding is a great way to relax, have fun and exercise.
There are many riding opportunities in the City of Stirling:
• Yokine, Dianella and Carine open spaces have an extensive network of shared paths, and paths also run around both Herdsman Lake and Lake Monger.
• The City coastal shared path is one of the best in Perth and forms part of a larger stretch of path running from Fremantle to Iluka.
Within the wider Perth area, Kings Park, the Perth Hills, the Swan Valley and the Swan River offer some great rides suitable for all fitness levels.

Riding safety and courteously
Speed limits apply to cyclists! A 10 km/h speed limit applies to all vehicles travelling within City of Stirling parks - including bicycles! 10k m/h is about double walking speed.
Ride safely and courteously. When riding on shared paths, please behave courteously towards pedestrians and other path users:
• Give way to pedestrians at all times
• Keep left unless overtaking
• Ring your bell well in advance of reaching a pedestrian to let them know you are behind them - don’t wait until you are close or you will startle them
• Watch out for dogs - they can be erratic.
A range of brochures which discuss safety and courtesy while riding can be picked up from the City's administration centre, or viewed online using the links on the right.
