Brisbane City Council and Queensland Transport combined to fund the construction of cycle2city (C2C), bringing to reality a visionary idea on how to encourage commuter cycling into the CBD. It is a unique facility located within the heart of Brisbane City, forming part of the King George Square Station complex. An Australian first, C2C was designed to support people who wanted to ride to work but suffered inadequate workplace facilities. Membership provides daily access to secure bike parking, a fresh towel, air conditioned locker rooms, and plenty of showers and toilets. An optional and convenient laundry service is also available and our full service workshop is an integral part of the centre, while also open to the public.
