Cycling day trip from Birkenhead to Clovelly Park

Get ready for a fun ride from Birkenhead to Clovelly Park! Starting off in Birkenhead—a suburb famous for its shipbuilding history and waterfront views—you’ll pedal southeast, soaking up plenty of Adelaide character along the way. Most of your journey is on smooth, paved surfaces with a solid chunk of easy-going cycleways; this means you can relax and just enjoy the scenery as you cruise through a mix of quiet suburban roads and dedicated bike paths.

You’ll find the ascent is pretty gentle (just under 60 meters total climb) and your highest point doesn’t even crack 40 meters above sea level, so it’s a great route if you want to take it easy. Clovelly Park awaits at the finish—a residential area close to Flinders University, with big leafy parks if you feel like a post-ride rest. All in all, this 30 km stretch is perfect for riders keen to explore the city’s quieter side, making it ideal for both regular cyclists and weekend adventurers. Don’t forget your snacks!
