Queensland is made for mountain biking – rugged landscapes, epic views, and a growing network of purpose-built trails across the state. Whether you’re chasing flowy singletrack, technical descents, or backcountry adventures, Bicycle Queensland is here to support your ride.
Who is Bicycle Queensland?
Bicycle Queensland (BQ) is the state’s peak body for bike riders. We advocate for better infrastructure, more access to trails, safer riding conditions, and policies that support recreational riding and active transport across Queensland. With over 12,000 members, we’re a powerful voice for everyone who rides—on trail, on road, or on the daily commute.
Peace of mind for mountain bikers
Crashes happen, even on your favourite loop. That’s why being a BQ member gives you peace of mind every time you roll out. Our membership includes accident and public liability insurance designed with all riders in mind, including mountain bikers, so you can focus on the ride knowing we’ve got your back.
Accident insurance
If you’re injured while riding, commuting or training, BQ’s 24/7 accident insurance can help cover non-Medicare medical costs like physio, dental, ambulance, and more. Whether you’ve overcooked a berm, clipped a tree stump, or hucked to flat from too high – we’re here to help with your recovery.
Public liability insurance
Sometimes it’s not you – it’s a stray dog, an unexpected pedestrian, a motorist who has pulled out as you ride to the trails – or just a moment’s bad luck. BQ membership includes $20 million public liability insurance in case you accidentally injure someone else or damage property while riding. It’s coverage that matters, especially when you’re hitting popular shared-use trails or local bike parks.
Bike insurance with Velosure
Want full bike cover for theft, crash damage or transit mishaps? BQ’s membership has insurance to look after you and your liability, but we leave it to our partners to look after your ride. BQ members get 10% off bike insurance with our partner, Velosure. Perfect for covering your pride and joy – whether it’s an e-MTB, trail rig, XC whip or enduro sled. The cost of bike insurance will be impacted by the replacement value for your bike, along with other factors – which is why it can’t be included in a one price Bicycle Queensland membership.
Advocacy for trails – and more trails
BQ fights for better access and more riding opportunities across Queensland. We’re working with local governments, trail builders, and land managers to expand the trail network and protect rider access. From trail maintenance to supporting new network proposals, your membership helps us advocate for the dirt you love to shred.
More mountain bike trails are not just useful for more fun, but useful to get more kids on bikes. Trails close to home give kids and teenagers an active way to engage with sport, community, and personal responsibility — all while having fun. It’s all about local trails for local kids. That’s why mountain biking advocacy is a growing and essential focus for Bicycle Queensland, not just in expanding the sport, but in growing cycling culture as a whole.
