The theme of Bike Week 2021 was health and wellbeing.
Cycling remains a great way to keep fit and active and is a good way to boost immunity, it's also fantastic for your well-being. This year we be launched with the World’s Biggest Bike Ride. We also encouraged people to take part in our virtual #7daysofcycling challeng and although it is over for this year be inspired by some exciting challenges and routes.
The most important thing is to have fun on your bike this summer.
