I lived in Como for around 20 years until 2014 and used the Como Bridge trail on a regular basis to go between Como and Oatley and return. It is a near enough to level track with well maintained bitumen.

Since the renovation of the Como Pleasure Grounds on the southern side of the bridge, there is now a great little cafe to enjoy a coffee and light snack along the way. Remnants of the original Como railway station remain but are fenced off.

Fabulous other than some cyclists that refuse to slow down over the bridge. This is a great community link and pre-dates the rail trail movement by decades.

I rode this trail late this afternoon (24/3/16), and it’s a great little trail. The bridge over the Georges River is the highlight with good views. Surface quality is fine and no major obstacles that a rider needs to worried about. Alot of pedestrians.

G’day,

I ride the bridge a couple of times each week. There are two things that riders should know.
Firstly, there is a 30m section at the southern end between the lookout and the railway access gate where the surface is very bumby. On a road bike it is very uncomfortable.
Secondly, the posted maximum speed for bicycles is – wait for it – 5kph!
If you try to ride at that pace you will be passed by pedestrians.
Other than that, it’s a great venue to ride.
