March 2, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

People who’d like to cycle the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail without needing to transport their own bike can now do so.<\/p>\n

On Friday the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail Users Association (BVRTUA) took delivery of a fleet of eight Trek Roscoe 7 hardtail mountain bikes.<\/p>\n

They will be available for hire to ride the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail from the Esk Caravan Park in Esk.<\/p>\n

BVRTUA president Paul Heymans said the new bike hire business is a partnership project with Esk Caravan Park, and came about with the assistance of sponsorship from Brisbane Valley Protein.<\/p>\n

“The hire bikes will be a game changer for tourism on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail,” Mr Heymans said.<\/p>\n

“It will make the trail more accessible to tourists from other parts of Australia and overseas who prefer to hire a bike locally rather than transport their own bike.<\/p>\n

“We hope to see the fleet of hire bikes expand over the coming year to include more mountain bikes and a selection of e-bikes.”<\/p>\n

The new mountain bikes can be hired for half a day, an entire day or several days.<\/p>\n

Intending riders who want to hire bikes should contact the Esk Caravan Park on (07) 5424-1466.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
