With over 80km of shared pathways and 50km of on-road cycle lanes, cycling is an attractive alternative to driving in Darebin. It is a healthy, fun and quick way to get around.

Darebin has some handy maps to guide you around the local area. For your free copy, visit a Customer Service Centre.

Cycling Strategy
Darebin Council formally adopted the 2005-2009 Cycling Strategy in 2005.

The strategy places high importance on the education and promotion of cycling.

Part of the implementation of the strategy requires Council to integrate cycling into the organisation.

Each year an annual report on the progress of the Cycling Strategy will be available. Contact us for a copy.

Cycling Counts
Each year a count of cyclists takes place to show a snapshot of the number of people cycling in Darebin. It's known as 'Super Tuesday' as the count takes place on the first Tuesday of March each year.

The count is organised by Bicycle Victoria and is conducted across several Victorian Council's.
