Cruising along this riverside bikeway is a great way to explore Brisbane with kids. The bikeway is accessible to riders of all levels and ages, and the dedicated bike path means you don’t have to contend with cars. Start at Captain Burke Park, located under the Story Bridge, and you can either ride along the river towards the South Bank Parklands and West End; or ride over the bridge itself and loop around to the City Botanic Gardens. There are plenty of things to stop for along the way – from picturesque views of the river and the Kangaroo Point cliffs, to playgrounds, picnic areas and cafés.
