Shane & Colleen – The Heart Behind Out There Cycling
We’re Shane and Colleen, the team proudly steering Out There Cycling since May 2023. While we don’t claim to be professional cyclists, we are devoted enthusiasts who fell in love with the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT), South Burnett Rail Trail (SBRT), and Kilkivan to Kingaroy Rail Trail (KKRT). These trails have inspired us not only as cyclists but also as community advocates who believe in the magic of exploring Queensland’s scenic wonders on two wheels.
For nearly a decade, Out There Cycling has been a cornerstone for cycling adventures in the region, and we’re thrilled to carry on this legacy. Whether we’re organising shuttles, planning bespoke itineraries, or riding the trails ourselves, you’ll always find us out there, doing what we love most—connecting people with the joy of cycling.
What We Do
Our mission is simple: make cycling the Rail Trails easy, accessible, and unforgettable. Every Thursday to Monday, we run a reliable 7 am shuttle service departing from the Wulkuraka Trail Head, stopping at all the key points along the trails. In peak seasons, we extend our services to six days a week and even offer daily options during school holidays. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local looking to explore in a new way, we’ve got your back with seamless transport, friendly support, and endless enthusiasm.

Gary is the latest addition to the Out There Cycling family, joining us just a few months ago. With his warm smile and easygoing nature, he’s already become an integral part of the team. Pictured here with his lovely wife Michelle, also avid rail trail cyclist. Gary brings a wealth of experience from his years in the transport industry, both as a driver and in inspections.
Since coming on board, Gary has embraced his role with enthusiasm, ensuring every rider enjoys a seamless and stress-free journey to their trail starting point. Whether it’s sharing a friendly chat or taking care of the details, Gary’s dedication to our customers shines through.
When not behind the wheel, Gary and Michelle are busy building their new home in Yimbun, where they’re enjoying the adventure of building their dream house together.

Peter is our go-to relief driver, always stepping in with a smile when and where we need him. He’s a valued member of the Out There Cycling team, known for his friendly demeanour and knack for connecting with customers.
A passionate history enthusiast, Peter has an impressive knowledge of the local towns, the Rail Trails, and even Expo 88. His love for storytelling doesn’t stop there—he hosts his own podcast channel on YouTube, where he shares fascinating historical insights and untold stories.
Every day with Peter is a learning experience, and we’re lucky to have someone so dedicated to making each ride both educational and enjoyable.
Corey & Skye
Corey, Skye & Bella – Our Family’s Foundation
From the very beginning, Corey, Skye, and future daughter-in-law Bella have been an essential part of the Out There Cycling journey. They were there to lend a hand, share in the adventure, and help build the foundation of what we are today.
While their paths have since taken them on exciting new journeys of their own, their presence remains a cherished part of our story. We couldn’t be prouder and wish them all the happiness and success in the world as they continue to follow their dreams.
