There are over 200 bike racks installed around Brisbane. You can locate bike racks by using the Cycling Brisbane bikeway map

To help increase bike parking available in the inner city, Council has installed new ‘green heart’ bike racks at 14 locations across the CBD, South Brisbane and Milton.

Green heart bike racks provide parking for two bikes when one is locked on either side of the rack.

You can also park your bike at every Council library. Each library building has bike racks nearby.

Bike repair stations

Council is installing bike repair stations along Brisbane's bikeway network. Instead of worrying about bringing toolkits along for your ride, you can rest your bike against the fixed blue stand and use a variety of attached tools (such as screwdrivers/allen keys/levers) to make basic repairs to your bike, or to inflate a tyre.

Stations are located at:
