In a bold move to enhance rider safety and future-proof cycling infrastructure, Bicycle Queensland has announced a major rebrand to Tricycle Queensland. The shift from two wheels to three marks a new era in active transport advocacy, aligning with the organisation’s commitment to making cycling safer and more accessible for all.
CEO Alton Twine explained the decision, stating, “We’ve always been about championing safe and sustainable transport. Moving to three wheels instead of two is a natural evolution in our work. With greater stability and enhanced rider confidence, tricycles are the future of cycling in Queensland.”
The transition comes as part of a broader initiative to update Queensland’s cycling infrastructure ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. Under the new strategy, existing bike lanes and pathways will be widened to accommodate the increased width of tricycles, ensuring a smooth transition for riders making the switch.
Andrew Demack, Tricycle Queensland’s Director of Advocacy, reassured members that traditional bicycles will still have a place in the organisation’s mission. “We want to make it clear: we still love bicycles, but as we always say—two wheels good, three wheels better. This change is about expanding possibilities, not limiting them.”
As part of the rebrand, Tricycle Queensland will introduce a new fleet of demonstration tricycles, host ‘Try a Trike’ days across the state, and launch a campaign to educate riders on the benefits of a more stable, three-wheeled future. You may not love the cornering, but you’ll love the straight line stability!
While some riders may be sceptical about the shift, Tricycle Queensland is confident that the change will lead to a safer and more inclusive riding experience for all Queenslanders.
