By Bike in Perth

By Bike

Perth's climate and its network of excellent trails make cycling a safe and enjoyable way to discover the city. But beware: summer temperatures can exceed 40°C (100°F) in the shade. A bicycle helmet is required by law, and carrying water is prudent. About Bike Hire, which rents bikes for A$30 a day or A$60 a week, is open Monday through Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 9-5. Free brochures detailing trails, including stops at historic spots, are available from the Western Australia Visitor Centre.
