Get on your bike and celebrate NSW Bike Week

NSW Bike Week is here again for its 22nd year and with more than 80 events being held across the state, communities across NSW are encouraged to get on their bikes and join the fun.

The week-long event has something for everyone, from interactive workshops to local guided rides and riders of all abilities invited to participate.

Transport for NSW Deputy Secretary Customer Service Tony Braxton-Smith said everyone should hop on their bikes to explore their local communities and enjoy cycling using the 365 kilometres of new cycleways across the state.

“We want everyone to get out there during NSW Bike Week and explore their local cycling paths – whether they’re learning to ride a bike or a seasoned rider,” said Mr Braxton-Smith.

“We’re holding a record number of events this year and with new cycleways now in place across NSW, we want people to discover the benefits and joys of cycling as a healthy way to get around.”

With more than 300 new cycleway and walking upgrade projects being delivered across Sydney and other parts of the state, people who regularly cycle or walk will be able to enjoy improved access to their local area.

“We want people to embrace cycling whether they are going for a ride with friends and family or making their way to work and these ongoing upgrades will definitely make riding a more attractive way to travel,” said Mr Braxton-Smith.

The NSW Government is investing more than $284 million in cycling and walking infrastructure and upgrades across NSW over the next four years to support the growing number of people who cycle and/or walk to move around their community.
