Stones Corner to Tarragindi
This ride is similar for the most part to "Stones Corner to Holland Park West" except you don't go along the busway.
The map shows our starting point at "Hanlon Park" Length - Approx 2.5km's each way Terrain: The entire track is concrete bike paths. It has one noteworthy hill which I have noted at 2:55. |
Hanlon Park was our starting point for this ride, it's located at Stones Corner. There's not a lot in the way of tables and chairs along the route. There are a couple of playgrounds along the way, but there are no toilets along this route.
There is one hill noted along this route, however if you want to avoid the hill you can just ride as far as the "Southeast Freeway" and turn back.

For our ride we started at "Hanlon Park" and rode along the bikeway which goes under the "Southeast Freeway" then follows alongside the Freeway finishing at "Sunshine Ave".
Things to consider :
This is a nice ride however there are sections of the bikeway which is hilly and there is not much shade along the route.

Rules and cycle tips
- Keep your bike in top condition: Make sure your bicycle is roadworthy before you start out. Check your tyre pressure and that brakes, pedals, lights and reflectors are all in good working order.
- Wear a helmet: A helmet could save your life. Under the road rules, all cyclists, even young children, must wear an approved helmet when riding. Your helmet must be correctly fitted and securely fastened.
- Follow the road rules: Road rules for cycling and driving cars are the same and are regulated by the Queensland Road Rules. Make sure you’re aware of all road rules relating to cycling before you begin your ride.
- Keep left: Cyclists should keep as far left as practical but can take up a whole lane where necessary for safety or to turn right.
- Hand signals: Cyclists should give hand signals when turning left, right or changing lanes and it’s a good idea to signal that you are about to stop.
- Be seen: Wearing brightly coloured clothes will help motorists see you when you’re riding on the road. You must have front and rear lights and reflectors on your bike for riding at night.
- Give way: Normal give way rules apply when riding on the road. Cyclists must give way to pedestrians at all times on shared paths and footpaths.
- Use your bell: Let others know you’re coming by signaling with your bell especially on shared paths and footpaths. You are legally required to have a working bell fitted to your bike.
- Two abreast: It is legal to ride two abreast... in some circumstances (eg on a narrow road) it may be more sensible to ride in a single file.
- Passengers: It is illegal to carry passengers except in an approved child seat or on a tandem.
- Pedestrian Crossings: Cyclists must give way to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings. If using the crossing to cross a road, cyclists must dismount and walk their bike across.
