Celebrate Bike Week 2012 by participating in rides, festivals and events across the Northern Beaches!
Bike Week raises the profile of cycling as a healthy, easy, low cost and environmentally friendly way of getting around for short trips in our local communities. A State-wide NSW Government initiative, Bike Week is for everyone, with a particular emphasis on encouraging new and less confident cyclists.
