Bike racks

There are over 200 bike racks installed around Brisbane. 

To help increase bike parking available in the inner city, Council has installed new ‘green heart’ bike racks at 14 locations across the CBD, South Brisbane and Milton. Green heart bike racks provide parking for two bikes when one is locked on either side of the rack.

You can also park your bike at every Council library. Each library building has bike racks nearby.

To use and access Cycle2 City you need to be a member to use Cycle2City. Membership provides access to:

  • 420 individual bike racks       
  • male and female change rooms with a total of 35 showers
  • lockers
  • ironing and laundry service
  • excellent security
  • bike access direct to the door via Turbot Street or Roma and Herschel Streets from the Bicentennial Bikeway or through Roma Street Parklands from the north.

Bicycle security

Don’t forget to lock your bike when you are out and about. For more tips on keeping your bike secure visit the Queensland Government website.

Bike repair stations

Council is installing bike repair stations along Brisbane's bikeway network. Instead of worrying about bringing toolkits along for your ride, you can rest your bike against the fixed blue stand and use a variety of attached tools (such as screwdrivers/allen keys/levers) to make basic repairs to your bike, or to inflate a tyre.

Stations are located:

  • at the end of Victoria Street cul-de-sac in Riverside Drive Park, West End
  • at the base of the Wheel of Brisbane, South Brisbane
  • behind the River Quay Green lawn area, South Bank.

Bikes on public transport

Bikes are permitted on some forms of public transport.

CityCats and ferries

You can take your bike on CityCats and ferries subject to the availability of space and at the Master's discretion.

Trains

You can take your bike on Brisbane trains at any time. For more information, visit the Queensland Rail website.

Leaving your bike at public transport stations

You can leave your bike securely at many train and bus stations.

Visit Translink for more information on bike facilities at selected bus and train stations.
