Our Alliance Partnerships will make you love bike riding even more.
BQ Alliance partnerships are a new way to help our members get the most enjoyment out of riding a bike. And while our fiercely dedicated crew see local and state government advocacy as our reason for being, it’s important that we never lose sight of the joy a bike ride can bring.
What is an Alliance Partnership?
BQ Alliance partnerships are 12-month partnership agreements, where businesses support the advocacy goals of Bicycle Queensland and our member services, while having the chance to interact with our wide membership base.
