The Brisbane Cycling Festival is kicking off this week, with major events starting from 24 March. 

More than 75 events will be held until the festival concludes on 12 April, with highlights including the Tour De Brisbane, Spokes N’ Jokes comedy, a mini Craft Beer Festival and the Brisbane Pololympics. 

Last year, then-Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the festival generated over $150 million for the local economy every year.
