All 31 local authority areas are participating in Bike Week, with events organised in collaboration with local sports partnerships.
Interim CEO of the National Transport Authority, Hugh Creegan, emphasises the importance of the week saying:
“The engagement from the local authorities and local sports partnerships has once again been fantastic this year. It’s great to see so many events taking place all around the country.”
“There really is something for everyone, from the popular family bike festivals and community cycles to local heritage and greenway cycles to school’s events. I’d encourage everybody to get involved.”
