Well, in terms of cycle unfriendly, Sydney and NSW are on another level.
Sounds like you're just a little afraid of the hills! It's not that bad when you find the good routes and utilise the few cycleways available.
Much like charlie_l I had a lovely ride today followed by a great body surf in 23°c water at freshwater beach. A lovely beachside suburb for wealthy folk... Stolen many years ago from the original inhabitants with nothing to acknowledge them but street names and apartment building names.

I am in Sydney just now and the "cricket and national honour" debate is more of the dumb ass hyprocracy at the core of white Australia. It is a society in denial that builds cultural myths claiming honour and integrity to cover the truth that it is a racist society built on multiple genocides of a 50,000 year old culture.
It is seen as a politically progressive victory that the NSW state government will not spend $2.5 billion rebuilding two 20 year old football stadiums, now the are only spending $1.7 billion. At the same time they have cut the $20 million required to bypass the 55 steps we climb to access the cycle route over the harbour.
On the plus side I can wake up to 23 degrees C on Easter Sunday and ride 11 km to swim in the Pacific ocean before breakfast. (I know, it's another reason to hate Aussies)
