Light the Night Ride II
Saturday, 3 May 2025
Join us for a free, family-friendly evening ride organised by local volunteers who care about building better bike connections in our community. Together, we’ll light up the night and push for safer, more accessible cycling routes.
Get creative! Decorate your bike with battery-powered fairy lights, glow sticks, and anything colourful. The more lights, the better—it’s all about having fun and making our bikes shine!
After the ride, stick around for a sausage sizzle:
- $5 for adults (just to cover costs)
- Free for kids!
The ride is a relaxed, easy-paced roll along the two proposed routes for Stage 5 of the North Brisbane Bikeway—help us show support for safer cycling options in our community.
Please register on Eventbrite to help us with organising the event.
When
Saturday, 3 May 2025 from 4:45pm to 7:30pm.
Where
Kalinga Park play and barbecue area, 4012 Lewis Street, Clayfield.
Tickets
Attendance for the ride is free!

Route
The route will be a gentle 5.63km round-trip to and from Kalinga Park. The route will go along the proposed Kent Road bikeway and recently cancelled All the Way to Eagle Junction (EJ) link.
About the campaign
Safe streets for cycling don’t happen unless you ask … a lot. And that’s what we’re doing.
We’ve been asking for the completion of the North Brisbane Bikeway (NBB) to safely connect to the Kedron Brook Bikeway (KBB).
Despite community support during multiple rounds of consultation, the Brisbane City Council has announced that work is to be discontinued on finishing a dedicated and protected North Brisbane Bikeway at Price Street. A dedicated All the Way to EJ link for the North Brisbane Bikeway is not to be built. Instead, people on the bikeway continuing to Kedron Brook Bikeway will be directed onto the roads along a route from Price Street to Brook Rd via Kent Rd (in yellow on map).
This is not ideal. Many people using this route wish to continue along Dickson St as they travel to the Eagle Junction Train Station, workplaces at Brisbane Airport, the Gateway North Bikeway, or the Moreton Bay Cycleway.
The North Brisbane BUG has a very modest proposal for the council: to at least make this short stretch of Dickson Street safer for cycling with kerbside space and a more reasonable speed limit (in red on map).
