Bicycle facilities for all Tasmanians
Bicycle Tasmania has created a shortlist of bicycle facilities required to help Tasmania establish a well connected bicycle network. These connections have been chosen due to the role they will play in connecting existing bicycle facilities or major population areas with activity centres. Bicycle Tasmania has worked hard to consult with members, stakeholders and the Tasmanian community to establish a priority list of bicycle facilities. This list of 51 Bicycle Facilities is by no means exhaustive but represents a starting point for a minimum level of construction required to meet the growing demand for infrastructure that supports bicycle riding in the next decade.In the following pages there are 428km of proposed bicycle facilities which, when constructed, will enable significant increases in bicycle riding Tasmania wide. There will be numerous other projects worthy of consideration in the coming years and as a result of increased attention from local and state government these will also gain priority status.Many of the 51 Bicycle Facilities recommended in this campaign plan have had significant progress towards their development made to date. Bicycle Tasmania’s facilities development campaign will focus efforts on ensuring those responsible complete these facilities to a high standard in a timely fashion.See the Fact Sheets for detailed information on each route...

Bicycle riders need a clearly defined and dedicated space that separates them from adjacent motor vehicles. This separation reduces risk, improves traffic flow and can improve road performance. ![]() How will the facility create comfort and convenience for riders?
