Cycling & bikeways
Bicycles are an important mode of transport for both our own personal health, and the sustainability of the Gold Coast’s beautiful environment.
Overview of cycling & bikeways
Gold Coast City Council has purposely incorporated on road and off road bikeways into the city’s town planning guidelines. More than 600 kilometres of bikeways now link neighbourhoods, schools, parks, and interconnect with major transit routes.
Riding a bike not only improves health and fitness, but is also beneficial to the environment and motorists by reducing greenhouse gases, noise and traffic congestion. Best of all, the city’s bikeways – which run through parks, alongside our beautiful foreshores and main transport routes – are designed to cater for all levels of rider capability.
Bikeways are an opportunity for Council to provide safe transport alternatives to the motor car and improve recreational opportunities for the community. It’s all part of Council’s ambition for a sustainable, growing city. By working together with the community and State Government, Council is helping promote cycling as a popular transit option now, and into the future.
Jumping aboard the two-wheeled transport may even let you see different aspects of the Gold Coast you never knew existed. It’s a great way to explore the city.
