Bicentennial Bikeway
The Bicentennial Bikeway, running the length of Coronation Drive (between it and the river), is a shared path heavily used by cyclists, pedestrians, joggers and roller bladers alike. As well as being an important commuting path (for all the above forms of transport) it forms part of the river ride, and is a popular path for leisure and exercise (again, with all modes of transport above).
The path is narrow for the volume of traffic it carries (particularly at peak times), and cyclists need to be careful to avoid collisions on it.

Roadworks
The Bicentennial Bikeway is being progressively upgraded by widening the pavement and separating cyclist and pedestrian traffic.
A 400 metre section of the bikeway at Milton was upgraded between April and August 2009. This section is now finished and open for use.
The next stage of the upgrade (between Land Street and Lang Parade) is due to commence in April 2010, for completion by August 2010.
Using the road
Although most cyclists use the bikeway, some cyclists choose to use the road instead. The tidal flow system has been decommissioned and the T3 lane abolished, making the road less accommodating for cyclists.
