Technical Tours

Brisbane has an extensive and growing network of bikeways funded by significant contributions by State and Local Government, which has led to the improvement of existing and installation of new infrastructure, such as:

• Green bridges: Goodwill, Kurilpa, Eleanor Schonell, Moggill Road Overpass, Toowong Overpass;
• CycleTracks in new Queensland developments: Hamilton Northshore, Bowen Hills;
• New Bikeways: Woolloongabba, Veloway 1 Corridor;
• Bikeway Upgrades: Bicentennial, North Brisbane; and
• End of Trip Facilities: Cycle2City (King George Square), Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital, Queensland University of Technology, University of Queensland, Brisbane CBD Offices (e.g. Queensland Government).

ICSC2019 technical tours will include visits to most of this infrastructure to enable delegates to gain an understanding of their design, planning, cost, installation and evaluation.

Tour inclusions:

• Bicycles (delegates can use their own bikes, if preferred)
• Helmets (helmets must be worn when cycling in Queensland)
• Morning tea or afternoon tea, as listed in the program
• Commentary by relevant stakeholders
• Stops en route at various points of interest

Where there are no specific bicycle facilities, participants will not ride along main roads as indicated by Google Maps, but will instead cycle along shared footpaths adjacent to the roads.

End-of-trip facilities
Complimentary end-of-trip facilities are available to all conference delegates throughout the three day program. The facilities are conveniently located in P Block where the conference program will take place and include access to showers, change rooms and lockers (please bring your own lock if you wish to use this).

To access the end-of-trip facilities, please visit the team at the Registration Desk to receive a swipe access card. Please note that we have limited availability for these so they’ll be offered on a first come, first serve basis.

Insurance
Please note, only QUT employees will be covered by QUT insurance during the technical tours. All other delegates must arrange personal travel insurance to cover bicycle activities prior to commencing the tours.
