National Bike Week takes place in Mayo from May 10th to 18th and you're invited to join in the fun.
From relaxed family cycles to hands-on bike maintenance workshops, and inclusive Learn to Cycle sessions designed especially for kids with disabilities, there's something for every member of the family. And let's not forget the ever-popular lunchtime school cycles happening this year in Westport, Castlebar, Foxford, Balla, Cong, Barnacarroll and Ballina.
All the events are grassroots efforts, put together with love by local community groups and clubs, in conjunction with Mayo Sports Partnership and the Bike Week Steering Committee. Other partners include Mayo Co Council Road Safety, Smarter Travel Offices, An Taisce Green Schools, Gardaí, community councils, and cycling groups all over Mayo!
Mayo Sports Partnership Deirdre Donnelly encourages everyone of all ages and abilities to take part.
"We are delighted to see schools and communities throughout the county get behind this worthwhile campaign which has been in operation since 2010. Hopefully, the weather will be good and we will all be able to get up and out on our bikes.”
Bike Week isn't just about riding - it's about celebrating the joy and benefits of cycling.
“Mayo Sports Partnership is delighted to once again work with stakeholders in delivering a comprehensive programme throughout the county," said Lyndon Jones, who is the chairperson of Mayo Sports Partnership. "It just would not be possible without the input from our partners, volunteers, schools, clubs, communities and indeed our own staff members. Happy cycling to all!”
