Society & Culture
Newcastle NSW is becoming a bicycle-friendly city, with new tracks being constructed and opening annually. The Newcastle Bikecology Centre is located within the city, while there are many people in surrounding or outer suburbs who are in need of a bicycle for themselves or their children and are not able to purchase or obtain a bike and then the trouble of trying to transport it home. New and secondhand bicycle stores or workshops are opening often, similar to this one which opened recently in Jesmond NSW. The 15 kilometre route passes through the suburbs of Adamstown, Kahibah, Whitebridge, Redhead, Jewells and terminating adjacent to the Belmont TAFE College (NSW) - Map.
