Exploring Launceston by Bike
Riding your bike around Launceston is easy and fun. It's getting easier every year to explore the best of Launceston with the gradual expansion of the off-road trails and on-road bike lanes across the city.
Launceston now boasts a total of nearly 100k of off-road trails and on road bike lanes. These cover most of the greater city area. Getting around by bike enables you to not only enjoy our beautiful parks, gardens, rivers and streetscapes but gives you time drop into to local shops, cafes, galleries without having to park.
The City of Launceston has installed reserved park and ride spots at both Hoblers Bridge Road and Heritage Forest (Conway St) car parks, allowing you to park and ride into the CBD using our off-road trails. Parking there is free.
