Noosa Bike Rides
Noosa Council have sign posted each cycle rout. Just follow the signs. The routes are a mixture of constructed cycle paths, pavements and roads. In Noosa Shire cyclists may ride on any footpath except in commercial, retail or business areas. You must keep left and give way to pedestrians on footpaths and shared use paths. Cyclists must warn pedestrians when approaching and then pass on the right. At all other times keep to the left.

Noosa Council have produced a useful map of all the cycle ways and is available from the Noosa Information Centre's & when you hire a bike.
