Cycling day trip from Perth to Fremantle

Ready for a ride from Perth to Fremantle? This is a classic Perth cycling adventure—about 35 km all up, mostly flat with just enough rolling terrain (about 239 meters up and down) to keep things interesting but not overwhelming.

Kick off your journey right in the heart of Perth, known for its laid-back vibe, beautiful Swan River, and artsy laneways. The route itself hugs the river, weaving along plentiful cycleways for a whopping 76% of the ride—so you won’t be dodging cars for most of it. Expect a mix of surfaces: half your wheels will spin on paved paths, with slick asphalt on about a third of the journey (watch out for sections where the surface info is missing though—could be gravel or just a mystery!).

The final destination, Fremantle, awaits with its buzzing port-side atmosphere, heritage buildings, and famous markets. Grab a coffee or fish and chips by the water to celebrate your ride. Perfect for a day out, with a touch of riverside breeze and heaps of local flavour from start to finish!
