The programme also features bike parades, and a number of heritage cycle tours where participants can learn about historical events and sites along the route.
If your bicycle has seen better days, there will also be bike maintenance workshops taking place throughout the week.
And, you don’t even need to own a bike to take part as several of the events have bike hire available on site.
Wednesday May 17 is Bike-To-Work Day, so grab your helmet and cycle to work, or let your workplace know and organise a lunchtime biking activity.
Not to be left out, schoolchildren can take part in COW day, or Cycle on Wednesday.
Cycling is a low-impact exercise that is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, it is also beneficial for mental health and wellbeing.
As an environmentally-friendly mode of transport, it’s also good for the planet.
