Bike paths around Melbourne have been developed over many decades. Many off-road trails follow current or former watercourses and traverse long distances, so that responsibility for planning and maintenance is split between various State Government authorities and local councils. With the increased recognition from all levels of government of the benefits of cycling, Melbourne today has a network of shared bicycle trails which have developed over time along its river and creek systems and alongside freeways and railways.
