Bikeways
You may be closer to one of Brisbane’s bikeways than you think. Did you know that one third of people in Brisbane live within 300 metres of at least one bikeway?
Brisbane has an extensive network of bikeways and shared paths spread across the city. Whether you’re looking for a path to get to work, to your local shops, or even for a relaxing weekend ride with the family, Brisbane’s bikeways can help you get there.

Real-time bikeway counters
Council is installing real-time bikeway counters on busy cycle routes and shared pathways around the city. The devices will track the number of people riding bikes, and in some cases people walking, via infrared sensors and an inductive loop in the bikeway or footpath. The counts will be displayed on bikeways via electronic display boards and signs.
Brisbane will soon be part of a global community with these installations, with cities across the world having adopted a similar approach. View bike counts from around the world.
Council will initially focus on high volume bikeways in the inner city with popular suburban bikeways being considered at a later time.
