North Brisbane Bikeway
The North Brisbane Bikeway, provides a safe, quick, and convenient option for riding and walking between the inner north and the Brisbane CBD.
This 7.5km off-road path connects the CBD to Wooloowin and is dedicated to people riding bicycles and personal mobility devices such as e-scooters, and people walking. A 4.5km portion of the bikeway also includes a separate pedestrian footpath, ensuring that people of all ages and abilities can safely walk in this busy northern Brisbane area.
Take a ride on the North Brisbane Bikeway and experience how it is encouraging more individuals to ride and walk more safely, comfortably, and frequently for transportation, recreation, and health purposes.

The North Brisbane Bikeway
0:00:06.964-->0:00:08.028
is ideal for everyone.
0:00:08.030-->0:00:09.910
It consists of seven and a half kilometres
0:00:09.910-->0:00:11.311
of continuous off-road cycling facility,
0:00:11.311-->0:00:13.075
including four and a half kilometres
0:00:13.080-->0:00:15.400
separated between pedestrians and cyclists.
0:00:15.400-->0:00:16.940
It's been specifically designed to
0:00:16.940-->0:00:19.860
suit people of all ages and abilities.
0:00:19.860-->0:00:21.980
Gives you a direct link into the city,
0:00:21.980-->0:00:22.540
so if you're a commuter and
0:00:22.540-->0:00:23.920
want to ride your bike-->
0:00:23.920-->0:00:24.712
your e-bike or a scooter
0:00:24.712-->0:00:26.940
all the way to the city--> you can do that.
0:00:27.950-->0:00:29.636
It's also great for people on weekends.
0:00:29.640-->0:00:31.992
Just going for a family roll together on
0:00:31.992-->0:00:34.686
the bike or on the scooter and so forth.
0:00:34.690-->0:00:36.657
Can take you into the Roma Street Parklands.
0:00:36.660-->0:00:38.346
Great for the kids and family
0:00:38.346-->0:00:39.470
to get out there.
0:00:39.470-->0:00:41.156
Yeah--> that's one of the things
0:00:41.156-->0:00:42.280
that's really struck me.
0:00:42.280-->0:00:43.690
People that haven't been on it
0:00:43.690-->0:00:45.205
probably don't realise just what
0:00:45.205-->0:00:47.285
a pleasant ride it is and there's
0:00:47.285-->0:00:49.301
parks you can stop at on the way.
0:00:49.310-->0:00:51.446
It's actually--> for the fact that it runs
0:00:51.446-->0:00:53.519
through a fairly built-up urban area,
0:00:53.520-->0:00:55.578
there's actually lovely green parts of it
0:00:55.578-->0:00:57.967
along the way. It's such a family-friendly
0:00:57.970-->0:01:00.336
environment. My husband also commutes on it.
0:01:00.340-->0:01:02.030
So we've got the kids,
0:01:02.030-->0:01:02.718
we've got
0:01:02.718-->0:01:04.782
commuting. It joins a number of other
0:01:04.782-->0:01:06.758
projects we've got around the state,
0:01:06.760-->0:01:08.884
including the Veloway 1 and the
0:01:08.884-->0:01:10.667
Bicentennial Bikeway that are all
0:01:10.667-->0:01:12.491
designed to get more people riding
0:01:12.491-->0:01:14.528
and more people walking more often
0:01:14.530-->0:01:16.270
throughout Queensland. Raised priority
0:01:16.270-->0:01:18.445
crossings were installed at several
0:01:18.445-->0:01:19.912
intersections to make the bikeway
0:01:19.912-->0:01:21.370
a safe and accessible for as
0:01:21.423-->0:01:22.639
many people as possible,
0:01:22.640-->0:01:24.300
including our most vulnerable road
0:01:24.300-->0:01:25.960
users like people walking with
0:01:26.020-->0:01:27.710
prams or using mobility devices.
0:01:27.710-->0:01:28.324
They're great.
0:01:28.324-->0:01:30.473
The cars stop for you, they're quite
0:01:30.473-->0:01:31.919
comfortable riding across,
0:01:31.920-->0:01:33.480
they've made a difference the
0:01:33.480-->0:01:34.416
whole way along.
0:01:34.420-->0:01:36.160
Super safe with the division
0:01:36.160-->0:01:38.045
between you know the walking and
0:01:38.045-->0:01:39.715
the cycling. It segregates
0:01:39.720-->0:01:41.280
obviously the speed groups,
0:01:41.280-->0:01:42.840
which is really important when
0:01:42.840-->0:01:44.400
you're walking with little kids.
0:01:44.400-->0:01:45.336
People feel safer,
0:01:45.336-->0:01:47.208
they feel more confident in riding.
0:01:47.210-->0:01:49.802
Whereas in the past they might not have
0:01:49.802-->0:01:51.561
considered riding along Dickson Street or
0:01:51.561-->0:01:53.760
Bridge Street because it was too dangerous,
0:01:53.760-->0:01:55.704
they now feel completely safe and
0:01:55.704-->0:01:57.977
the fact they can get all the
0:01:57.977-->0:01:59.487
way into the city without,
0:01:59.490-->0:01:59.826
essentially,
0:01:59.826-->0:02:01.842
without riding on any roads is
0:02:01.842-->0:02:03.167
really encouraging for people
0:02:03.167-->0:02:04.739
to take up cycling. Over time,
0:02:04.740-->0:02:05.976
the network will progressively
0:02:05.976-->0:02:07.830
get built as roads are upgraded.
0:02:07.830-->0:02:10.287
We'll see more and more of this kind of
0:02:10.287-->0:02:12.158
facility roll out across the network.
