The Bulimba Creek Bikeway stretches 23km from Eight Mile Plains to Murrarie and is a great walk or ride for people of all ages and abilities. There are many access points, mostly at the parks dotted along the way.
The Veloway One (V1) bikeway begins at the Gateway Motorway Off Ramp at Eight Mile Plains, running alongside the Pacific Motorway, connecting to Lower River Terrace at South Brisbane. There are access points off Klump Road (before entering Griffith University) and at Birdwood Road, Holland Park. The Council is developing plans to improve bike connections between Wishart and the V1.
