Cycling on the Gold Coast: Coastal Paths, the Veloway and Hinterland Rides

The Gold Coast has a well-developed cycling network, with the Gold Coast Oceanway coastal path being the flagship shared pathway running from Coolangatta in the south to the northern beaches. The Oceanway provides views across the beach from elevated boardwalk sections in places, and is popular with cyclists, runners and pedestrians. The Gold Coast Velodrome at Currumbin has competitive cycling programs. The 36-kilometre Australia Day Trail through Tallebudgera Creek and Springbrook National Park provides hinterland cycling with escarpment scenery. The Light Rail Cycleway along the tram corridor provides dedicated infrastructure for commuters connecting Helensvale to Broadbeach. The Gold Coast City Council publishes an updated cycling map. Hire bikes and e-bikes are widely available, particularly in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.
