It’s Bike Week!

In 2024, Bike Week, the UK’s biggest awareness-raising event for cycling, takes place 10-16 June. This year’s theme is be a #BikeHero – read on to find out how to take part

Bike Week is the UK’s biggest awareness-raising moment of the year for cycling and a chance to celebrate. It’s a time to remind ourselves of all the positives that riding a bike can bring, both to our own health and wellbeing, as well as the wider impacts on our communities and the planet.

This year, Cycling UK wants to celebrate cycling as a force for good. We want to celebrate all those who cycle and encourage and enable more cycling, as we know that when more people cycle, we all become happier, healthier, greener and more connected.
