Bike parking and facilities

""

Find out about bike parking, end of trip facilities, and how to connect your bike ride with public transport.

Bike parking

Council has installed more than 200 free public bike racks across Brisbane, and there are hundreds more provided by other organisations. Council’s City Plan 2014 requires bike parking to be provided for many new buildings, and thousands of bike parking spaces have been approved as part of new developments across the city.

All Council libraries have bike racks, and the number of other Council facilities with racks is growing.

Use Cycling Brisbane’s bikeway map to check where to park.

To suggest a bike rack location, fill in the online form. 

End of trip facilities

End of trip facilities include bike racks, lockers, showers, changing rooms and, if you’re lucky, irons, hair dryers and a laundry service! They have been compulsory for major new developments, such as office buildings and hospitals, since 2010, and the number of end of trip facilities in Brisbane continues to expand. If you’re not sure whether the building you live, work or study in has end of trip facilities, ask your building manager or a colleague who already rides to work.

If you are without an end of trip facility in the city centre, consider Cycle2City. Located at King George Square, this cycle centre has 420 bike parks, showers, lockers, laundry services and exclusive access points. Cycling Brisbane members can save 20% off their Cycle2City membership fee for the first 6 months.

There is a similar facility at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in Herston. The hospital is located near the North Brisbane Bikeway and Enoggera Creek Bikeway.

University campuses also have end of trip facilities:

  • Griffith University
  • Queensland University of Technology
  • University of Queensland

Connecting with public transport

Learn how to connect your bike ride and journey with public transport. Visit Translink for more information.

CityCats and ferries

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

Electric scooters are not permitted on CityCat or CityFerry services.

Trains

You can take your bike or personal e-scooter on all South East Queensland trains at all times.

When travelling with a bike or e-scooter, Queensland Rail requests that you please:

  • travel only in the first and last carriages on six-car trains (not permitted on three-car trains)
  • board via the first or last train door
  • check for space and ensure only two bikes or e-scooters are in the first and last carriages at one time.

For more information about travelling with your bike, you can visit Queensland Rail’s website.

Queensland Rail has bike lockers and bike racks at many Brisbane stations, with over 3200 spaces. Find out more about booking online.

Buses

Options to park your bike include free racks at many bus stops, busway stations and some park 'n' rides.

All busway stations have secure bike parking.

Some bus interchanges also have secure bike shelters, which provide secure lockers for your bike. To use a locker you need an access card. These are free with a refundable deposit; to apply for your card complete this form. Bike shelters are located at:

  • Westfield Garden City shopping centre busway station
  • Westfield Chermside shopping centre, adjacent to the bus interchange
  • Mt Ommaney shopping bus interchange
  • Carindale Street, corner of Banchory Court opposite Westfield Carindale bus interchange
