Program of events
The 2012 Bike Week Festival will present a range of rides and (mostly) free activities catering for the cycle-fanatics and the riding newcomers alike!
Bike Week spruiks the spirit of anything and everything cycling! With over 20 activities, we're letting you try it your way - be it on the bike or appreciating a film about the beauty of the bike, be it your mode of commuting, a leisurely spin with friends or the challenge between mates to claim Queensland's 'King of the Mountain' title on the BDO Brisbane Coot-tha Challenge.
Some events can be entered on the day but are subject to capacity, and will incur a late fee, so we encourage all participants to register online to guarantee their spot. This website will list if events are full or filling fast.
