A push by Brisbane City Council's Labor Opposition to have a cycling safety campaign funded in this year's budget has been rejected by council's LNP majority.

Opposition Leader Milton Dick moved a motion at Tuesday afternoon's meeting seeking the administration's support for a Share the Road education campaign to encourage safer interaction between cyclists and motorists on Brisbane streets.

Ratepayers won't fund a cycling safety campaign.

Similar programs have been undertaken by the Amy Gillet Foundation in New South Wales.

Cr Dick urged LNP councillors to put political alliances aside and support the motion.
