Welcome TO BRISBANE.
On behalf of Brisbane, I look forward to welcoming international riders and
teams to our city for the 2019-2020 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup.
Brisbane is a great place to live, work, and relax – it’s a safe, vibrant, green
and prosperous city, valued for its friendly and optimistic character and
enjoyable subtropical lifestyle.
Brisbane is a fantastic city to explore on two wheels, with an extensive
network of bikeways and shared pathways and some of the country’s best cycling
facilities, perfect for training in the lead up to the world cup.
You can also explore routes that travel along beautiful beachside foreshores, parklands,
nature reserves and, of course, the Brisbane River.
I commend our cycle-friendly city to you and wish all riders the best of luck in the
2019-2020 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup.
Adrian Schrinner
Lord Mayor of Brisbane
