The National Transport Authority (NTA) and Tipperary Sports Partnership (TSP) have announced details of Bike Week 2023, which runs from next Saturday May 13 to Sunday May 21.
Bike Week is an annual celebration and promotion of the benefits of cycling, with hundreds of events taking place across the country including family events, heritage cycles, maintenance workshops and learn-to-cycle events.
All 31 local authority areas are involved in Bike Week, with events being organised jointly through the local authorities and local sports partnerships.
Anne Graham, CEO of the NTA said: “The engagement from the local authorities and local sports partnerships has been fantastic again this year and it’s great to see so many events taking place all around the country.
“There really is something for everyone, from the popular family bike festivals and community cycles, to local heritage and greenway cycles and schools’ events. I’d encourage everybody to get involved”.
Robert Murphy of Tipperary Sports Partnership and Tipperary County Council said “It promises to be a great week to get out and get cycling. There are over thirty events happening throughout the week all over Tipperary, catering for people of all ages and abilities.
