Most are dirt tracks, with some offering built-up mounds and jumps for the more experienced riders. Most impressive are the BMX tracks at Fitzgibbon and Darra – they're asphalt, and two of Australia's biggest BMX facilities of their kind, with Fitzgibbon boasting 640m of track.Go to: Bracken Ridge BMX Track , Corner of Telegraph Road and Lemke Road, Fitzgibbon.[BREAK]Play and Ride - Ithaca Creek cycle pathThe Ithaca Creek cycle path starts at Woolcock Park in Red Hill, which has a sensory playground and toilet and picnic facilities, including barbecues.

Younger or less experienced riders can make the most of around 9km of wide concrete path that takes you around a lagoon, through a forest, across meadows and over small wooden bridges.

Go to: Arthur Davis Park , 231 Flinders Parade, Sandgate.[BREAK]Kiddies' Commute - Kedron Brook BikewayThe Kedron Brook Bikeway stretches for almost 20km from Mitchelton to Nundah using a mixture of mostly flat off-road shared pathways and separated bikeways.
