NSW Bike Week - September 2012

Cycling events in your local community

NSW Bike Week 2011

NSW Bike Week is a Statewide NSW Government initiative that raises the profile of cycling as a healthy, easy, low cost and environmentally friendly way of getting around for short trips in your local community. NSW Bike Week is a time when local community organisations can stage bicycle events which offer safe and supported riding conditions. Everyone can participate in NSW Bike Week events, with a particular emphasis on encouraging new and less confident cyclists.

Applications are now open for NSW Bike Week 2012!

If you're interested in hosting your own NSW Bike Week event, applications are now being accepted.

NSW Bike Week 2012 will run from Saturday, 15 Spetember until Sunday, 23 September.
