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.

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:
