Sponsored by Samsung, Bike Week provides an opportunity for everybody, everywhere to get involved with this fun, healthy sport, give the environment a rest, and join in with one of the many events taking place across the country.
The biggest nationwide cycling event in the UK, Bike Week aims to encourage more people to get on their bikes, reconsider the way they make their daily journey to work, or simply try out a sociable activity that's great for general fitness.
Not only will cycling improve your cardiovascular fitness, it's low impact (so no excuse if you're prone to painful joints), tones your legs and bum and provides a great workout for your upper body. Better still, it's the perfect get fit pastime for children and adults alike, and that means the whole family can get involved.
As part of Bike Week, events will be taking place across the country - time trials, races, fundraising rides, training, commuter challenges and even picnics and barbecues have already been organised.
On the other hand, if you're already something of an old hand when it comes to cycling, whether that means commuting to work or mountain biking over rough terrain, why not organise your own event?
Visit www.bikeweek.org.uk for more information on how to set up your own local event or get involved in one of the many activities taking place throughout the country.
