Bike Week is back and we’re celebrating the annual week of all things cycling!
Bike Week, run by Cycling UK, is a week-long celebration and awareness-raising event to remind ourselves of all the positives that cycling can bring, both to our own health and wellbeing, as well as the wider impacts on our communities and the planet.
Win a brand new balance bike from Squish!
To celebrate Bike Week, we’re giving away an amazing balance bike from our partner Squish, perfect for your little ones first cycle. To enter, find our Bike Week post on any of our social media channels, we’re @BikeabilityUK everywhere, and let us know why balance bikes are so brilliant, and you could be in with the chance of winning!
There are lots of other events going on around the country – you can find some of them here – or why not plan your own? Cycling UK have come up with some ideas to help you get pedalling!
Replace a short local you’d normally make by car
If you usually drive to the local shop, jump on your cycle instead. Find a route that suits you and enjoy the journey! If you haven’t cycled for a while, we have some top tips from our expert instructors on how to get back in the saddle.
Take the kids out for a bike ride – perhaps even cycle to school
Cycling as a family is a great way to get some fun and exercise into your schedule. If this inspires you, find out more about our annual Cycle to School Week – there are chances to win great prizes if you sign up to the challenge!
Encourage friends to join you on a ride
Cycling is always more fun with a friend! Why not plot out a mini adventure locally with our partner komoot, the route planner app for running, hiking and cycling. We have some fab family routes on our komoot page you could try if you fancy something a bit further afield!
Join a Big Bike Revival event
Find a Big Bike Revival partner delivering events near you and access free help to cycle locally. You can find out about events happening near you here.
Inspire others
Post a selfie, or pictures of your bike ride or journey on social media. Use the hashtags #BikeWeekUK and #BikeHero. And don’t forget while you’re on social media to enter our competition to be in with the chance of winning a brand new Squish balance bike!
