Ride smart, ride safe and ride in the right place.
It's pretty hard to find places to ride that are close to home, fun and legal. But that doesn't mean it's ok to ride on land where you're not supposed to! When people ride in places where they shouldn't they could be damaging the land, polluting the waterways, annoying the people who live close by and even breaking the law.
If everyone rides in the right place, we can reduce trail bike related fatalities and injuries as well as the damage done to both the bush and the reputation of trail bike riders.

Where to ride, who to ride with
It's not easy to find places to ride bikes in Queensland that are safe, interesting and legal.
Ride smart, ride safe
Local councils have developed laws to make sure communities and the environment are protected from the trail bike riders who do the wrong thing.
Protect the environment
It doesn't take much to wreck the bush. The first vehicle might just knock the scrub around a bit. But when someone else follows your detour - then another and another - pretty soon a track will form.
Develop and operate a trail bike park
The Queensland Government's Living the Queensland Lifestyle policy encourages Queenslanders to live a more relaxed, healthy and less stressful outdoor lifestyle, and supports the development of outdoor recreation activities including trail bike riding.
Information for councils
