Well, obvs.

should I bring my bike kit with me next week? I like the sound of heading to the blue mountains, but I'm horribly unfit.
If you did, I wouldn't suggest the blue mountains. For a nice ride that's not going to hurt head north over the cycle path on the harbour bridge, down through mosman and the spit then through manly. Take a detour up to North head for views then head north again past the beaches and up to church point. Grab a coffee. Then continue up to west head. Take more pics (you'll be looking down on "summer bay") then head back out through Terry hills, across wakehurst parkway and back to the city. I think about 75 Kay's or so. All around west head/ church point is nice roads, nice bushland and water views. A few shitty fast roads in between the nice bits.
If you're really keen bit only want to do a short spin there's good rides from the city to Bondi etc. Shoot me a PM if you'd like. I'm really, really unfit but if time allows I would be happy to meet or even just give more info!
There's also great walks all around Sydney. -
All the other beaches along that coast are nicer for swimming. There is the classic coast walk, Coogee to Bondi with good bus connections at each end. Riding is good if you research the back street routes and like hills. Bronte beach has grass and some shade, if you walk from there to Bondi stop for a beer at Icebergs club, sign up for temporary membership. One of the best views around.

The Blue Mountains aren't the sort of place I'd ride while on holidays. The road is busy and covered in rubbish, and to be honest it's a bit dull until you get to Leura or Katoomba. I only ride here because it's unavoidable if you live half way up them. The walks are however pretty spectacular.
