Abstract

This blog post explores the history of cycling in Queensland from the late nineteenth century to the 2020s. From recreation and transport to high-performance racing, places of cycling history are considered in relation to heritage frameworks. The absence of velodrome recognition in the Queensland Heritage Register is flagged, prompting reflection on the importance of cycling in Queensland’s sporting and social history.
