New to riding

Congratulations on getting started! There are so many great reasons to ride a bike. It improves your overall health and fitness, and helps to reduce stress and increase energy levels. Riding is also an excellent way to save money on petrol and parking, and to beat congestion. And by reducing air pollution and carbon emissions, you’ll be helping to create the kind of environment we all want to live in.

Cycling Brisbane is here to help you feel as confident as possible about starting to ride, and riding more often. We run workshops and events covering all aspects of riding, provide information and resources to plan your journey, and keep you up-to-date with the expanding bikeway network in Brisbane.
