Bike Week

Calling all cyclists. Council’s TravelSmart team is hosting a range of great events and workshops to celebrate Bike Week from March 13 to 21.

There is something for all ages, from bike maintenance workshops and pathway awareness rides, to sessions helping children progress from training wheels to two wheels as well as how to correctly fit your bike helmet.

Local schools are also encouraged to get involved in a Ride to School Day on March 17.

Bike Week aims to:

  • encourage and facilitate active participation in cycling
  • raise awareness in the broader community of the benefits of cycling
  • position cycling as a legitimate, active and healthy transport mode

The events are part of Queensland's Bike Week activities with funding from the Queensland Government and Bicycle Queensland. Several local bike shops have generously donated their time to conduct the bike maintenance workshops.
