Among the events planned in County Longford are a Family Cycle on Sunday, May 12, a Bikers Lunch on Wednesday, May 15, and a Royal Canal Leisure Cycle on Saturday, May 18.
Bike Week is an annual celebration and promotion of the benefits of cycling. Hundreds of events are taking place across the country, including family cycles, heritage cycles, maintenance workshops, and learn-to-cycle events.
All 31 local authority areas are involved in Bike Week with events being organised jointly through the local authorities and Local Sports Partnerships.
Speaking about Bike Week, NTA Chief Executive Officer Anne Graham said, “The engagement from the local authorities and Local Sports Partnerships has been fantastic again this year and 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 schools’ events. I’d encourage everybody to get involved.”
