Riding in Brisbane

Brisbane has a network of bikeways and shared pathways that connect with schools, local facilities, parks and public transport hubs. Whether you ride for fun, fitness or as a means of active transport, riding a bike is a great way to get around. Use this section to find information on route planning, bikeway projects and closures, bike parking and more.

Brisbane City Council’s riding program and facilities align with the outcomes of the Transport Plan for Brisbane – Strategic Directions  including increased travel by sustainable and active travel modes to reduce the impact on the environment and improve the health and well-being of Brisbane residents.
