Over a hundred riders enjoyed riding (and rollerblading) the first 6.5 kilometre section of the region's first off-road cycleway - from the Cairns Esplanade to Aeroglen - which I launched with Transport Minister Anastasia Palaszcuzek and Member for Barron River Steve Wettenhall on Sunday, 26 June. It was great to see so many families there checking out the new safe route,and to hear from parents that they are now allowing their children to ride to school.
