Share your route

13 July 2021

To develop a comprehensive Bicycle Strategy and Action Plan, it is useful for us to know where people are riding and where they would like to ride. You can share your actual rides or map the routes you would like to use by following the instructions below. This can inform any potential future bicycle routes and any associated infrastructure required.

Option 1 – Using Strava

Are you an existing user of Strava? Record your ride using the Strava App. You can then add 'Waverley Council' to your Friends list to share via the app, or email it to us at transport@waverley.nsw.gov.au.

Option 2 – Using Ride with GPS

Ride with GPS is a website and smartphone app that allows users to record bicycle routes. The website and app allow a free account to be set up but only the website will allow you to record a route that can be shared.

To begin using Ride with GPS, first set up a free account. When you have an account you will be able to:

Draw a route on a computer via the Ride with GPS website www.ridewithgps.com using the ‘Route Planner’ tab

Click to start and continue clicking to complete your route, double click to end

Edit the route (or add/draw line segments if not able to be selected) or by dragging the ‘control points’ (these are the dots you clicked when drawing the route)

To share the route with us you can do the following:

  • Add 'Waverley Council' as a Friend and share your route via the website or app

  • If you don't have a subscription, please save the route and email it to us at transport@waverley.nsw.gov.au

  • If there is a specific detail about your route you would like to record, please email it to us at transport@waverley.nsw.gov.au. Please include the name of your route.


Option 3

Use another freely available mapping software that can be exported in a ‘GPX’ format and share it with us via email at transport@waverley.nsw.gov.au.
