The '''Windsor Road cycleway''' is a predominantly [[roadway|off-road]] {{convert|31|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}} cyclepath between [[Parramatta Park, New South Wales|Parramatta Park]] and Macquarie Street, {{NSWcity|Windsor}} that is generally aligned with the [[Windsor Road]] and [[Old Windsor Road]].<ref>{{cite map |url=https://www.google.com.au/maps/dir/-33.87051,+151.1415/-33.8591287,151.162517/@-33.8771603,151.1121167,14.16z/data=!4m7!4m6!1m3!2m2!1d151.1415!2d-33.87051!1m0!3e1 |title=83 Macquarie St, Parramatta NSW 2150 to 98 Macquarie St, Windsor NSW 2756 |publisher=[[Google Maps]] |date= |accessdate=18 December 2016}}</ref>

The cycleway accesses the [[North-West T-way]] between Darcy Road, {{NSWcity|Westmead}} to Windsor. Some major road crossings are required, particularly on [[Old Windsor Road]] but all are controlled by traffic lights. There are connections to the [[Parramatta Valley cycleway]] via Parramatta Park, Toongabbie and Girraween Creek via McCoy Park, Toongabbie Creek cycleway, [[Blacktown]] via Sunnyholt Road cycleway and to the [[M7 cycleway]] at {{NSWcity|Bella Vista}}.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/about-town/push-on-for-pedal-pleasure-20110824-1jams.html |title=Push on for pedal pleasure |author=Santhebennur, Malavika |work=[[Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=26 August 2011 |access-date=18 December 2016 }}</ref> Between the {{convert|14|mi|adj=on}} stretch from Westmead to [[Rouse Hill]] there are some 26 traffic light controlled road crossings and therefore riding along this cycleway is a very stop-start process. There is a steep climb from Abbott Road up to Seven Hills Road when travelling north.
