Bike Week

Participation in Bicycle Queensland’s events is growing every year at record rates. This Sunday, the second annual BDO Kendalls Brisbane Coot-tha Challenge will be 36% bigger than the first one, with more than 2200 cyclists taking on the mountain.

The Great Brisbane Bike Ride is also up from last year’s event (and we’re not finished, as you can still enter the GBBR on the day at South Bank), so all up around 4000 cyclists will take to the streets and bike-paths to celebrate the end of Bike Week on Sunday.

Of course, with our organisational motto (Everyday cycling, every day), Bicycle Queensland loves to see the gains made during special events such as Bike Week translate into more people cycling more often. So if you have dusted off an old bike specially for Bike Week, or bought a new bike to be part of the Family Fun Ride, then maybe it’s time to work out the best bike route to work or school, and keep those cycling muscles moving.
