Brisbane has a good cycling network of bike paths. I cycled up to the popular Mt. Coot-tha loop. Lots of cyclists and people trekking out early. There is a nice coffee shop at the top lookout point which gives a nice view towards Brisbane.

Great spin up along the coast to Redcliffe and Scarborogh on some great bike trails and various surfaces all suitable for a road bike. Some nice cafes en route even open on Christmas morning. People im Brisbane are up early to avoid the later heat and walk dog, cycle or exercise. Had a beautiful swim also.

Great morning spin taking in some great locations around Sydney, nice short steep hills and plenty of good coffee shope rn route.
