Intercity Cycleway - Hobart to Claremont
The Inter-City Cycleway is a shared cycling/walking track that extends for 15.6 km between Hobart's waterfront at Sullivans Cove to Box Hill Rd in Claremont. The Cycleway has an excellent concrete surface and is suitable for all types of bikes as well as scooters and skates. It has been constructed on a disused railway line which means there are no steep hills or sharp turns, making it ideal for families or novice bike riders. Remember to take care at the road crossings.
There are lots of attractions and sites to visit along the Cycleway including Queens Domain & Botanical Gardens, Valhalla Ice cream shop in Moonah, Transport Museum at Glenorchy, Moorilla Winery at Berriedale and Cadburys chocolate factory in Claremont. |

Clarence Foreshore Trail
| This takes in a mixture of off-road paths along the water and quiet local streets. The pathway is narrow in places and some sections require riding on local roads so take care. Cyclists must give way to walkers. It starts in Geilston Bay but the best access point is ANZAC Park or Simmons Park in Lindisfarne. The route follows the water along the Esplanade and passes under Tasman Bridge and around Rosny Point. There are a couple of short steep sections in Rosny. The path continues around Kangaroo Bay and follows Victoria Esplanade through Bellerive. It ends at Sunshine Recreation Centre in Howrah. See Clarence Council website for maps and more detailed description.

Clarence Council is working on completing missing sections of the trail. See Clarence Projects Page for more. Montrose foreshore path
This starts near the Montrose Bay Yacht Club and follows the foreshore along Elwick Bay to the Derwent Entertainment Centre. Cyclists can use the roadway around DEC (which is closed to motorised traffic most days) to connect with the pathway over the Bowen Bridge. The Intercity Cycleway can be reached by crossing the Brooker Hwy at the traffic lights at the entrance to DEC and following the Barossa Creek Trail.
Hobart Rivulet Track
Following the Hobart Rivulet, this path starts at Molle St in Hobart (from the carpark opposite Collins St) and finishes near Cascade Brewery at the foot of Mt Wellington. The surface is a fine and firmly-packed gravel. The middle section of track leaves the rivulet and climbs quite steeply before dropping down again. It is highly recommended to bypass this section by cycling up Anglesea Street , along the footpath of Macquarie Street to Excel Lane & MacFarlane St and rejoin the track. The track is approximately 3km in length.

Pipeline Track
The Pipeline Track starts opposite the Ferntree Tavern and winds its way around the contours of Mt Wellington for approximately 12km, offering gorgeous vistas over the countryside and finishing close to North West Bay River. A gate is closed across the track a short distance from Wellington Falls.
 Start of track at Ferntree
| The track has a wide, hard-packed gravel surface and is shady and fern-lined in the early sections, opening out into the wooded slopes of the mountain. Occasional clearings in the trees provide views of the city, Cathedral Rock, Mt Montague and the coastline to the south. A side track near the start provides a pleasant detour to Silver Falls. The gentle inclines make it ideal for families, although there is a low-level bridge that requires dismounting and lifting the bike down a couple of steps.
