Suitable tracks for beginner riders

Queens Domain, Hobart

The 1km loop of sealed roadway at the top of Upper Domain Road is not open to public cars, making it a suitable bicycle track for kids. There are a couple of small hills but otherwise it's wide and mostly flat. Car parking is available on Upper Domain Rd where the road has been closed.

Clarence Foreshore Trail at Geilston Bay

There is a wide concrete pathway near the children's playground that is mostly flat and doesn't carry much traffic, making it a more suitable location to test out cycling skills before trying the Intercity Cycleway.
