Bikeability conference 2023
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2023 Bikeability Conference. It was a fantastic day, with instructors, training providers and grant recipients from all over the country joining us in Birmingham. We also welcomed some of our partners to the conference, including Decathlon, Frog Bikes, Beryl, Modeshift and Madison.
This year’s theme was impact and we spent the day hearing about the impact Bikeability can make, both on the playground for individual riders and in communities as the Trust works with Active Travel England to enable more people to cycle, walk and wheel in their neighbourhoods.
