Brisbane: Cycling - Mountain Biking

With a stunning riverfront and the nearby Botanic Gardens, Brisbane is a cycling and Mountain Biking paradise with its unspoilt terrains, breathtaking views and astounding array of beautiful parks and beaches waiting around every corner. However, Brisbane’s steep hills, narrow streets and high volumes of traffic mean that beginners would be best heading out into the less demanding parks and or cycle paths near the riverfront. Maps with clearly marked cycle routes are readily available in Brisbane and will help navigate you safely round the city. If you fancy some company, join one of the many guided cycle tours at the City Plaza behind City Hall and meet fellow visitors as you explore Brisbane. There are plenty of bicycle hire shops to be found along Albert St or New Farm with a choice of mountain bikes, tandems, hybrid bikes, tag a longs and baby carriages. Brisbane is a safe and largely hassle-free destination when it comes to a cycling or mountain biking holiday and is ideal for the whole family.
