Bike Week is back. This year it’s bigger than ever. Running from 8th –14th June 2026, the UK’s most celebrated annual cycling event is once again inviting riders of every level to get on their bikes, connect with their communities and experience everything that makes cycling so brilliant.

Organised by Cycling UK , a charity that has championed cycling for over 140 years, Bike Week is a week-long national celebration with a simple but powerful message, cycling makes life healthier, happier and greener.

What Is Bike Week?

Bike Week has been running for more than a century, making it one of the longest-standing cycling initiatives in the country. Each year, it brings together everyday riders, families, commuters and complete beginners to celebrate the cycling in their communities.

Whether you’re already a dedicated cyclist, someone who occasionally dusts off the bike at weekends, or a complete beginner who’s never quite found the confidence to get started, Bike Week is designed for you.

How to Get Involved This Year

There are two main ways to take part in Bike Week 2026:

1. Host a Bike Week Brunch

One of the most popular ways to celebrate is by hosting a Bike Week Brunch, a sociable event that brings people together around cycling and community.

Your brunch can take almost any form. It might be coffee and cake with friends before a morning ride, a workplace breakfast, a school bake sale, or a neighbourhood get-together. The idea is simply to bring people together in a way that’s enjoyable and easy to organise, raising funds to support Cycling UK’s year-round work.

When you register to host a Bike Week Brunch, you’ll receive a fundraising pack full of ideas, tips and resources to help you plan your event and make the most of the week.

2. Join the Big Bike Revival

If you’ve been out of the saddle for a while, or have never quite got started, the Big Bike Revival is the perfect opportunity. Run by Cycling UK and delivered by local organisations across England, it offers free, friendly sessions designed to help adults start cycling, return to it, or simply feel more confident on their bikes.

Sessions vary by location but can include:

• Learn to ride – whether you’re an absolute beginner or returning after years away
• Basic maintenance workshops – pick up simple repair skills to keep your bike roadworthy
• Bike safety checks – have minor issues looked at and your bike given a once-over
• Guided local rides – explore your area at a relaxed pace and meet fellow cyclists

These sessions are welcoming, pressure-free, and open to all. Find a Big Bike Revival session near you.

Other Ways to Celebrate

Of course, you don’t need to sign up to an event to mark Bike Week. Some of the simplest ways to get involved include:

• Swap a short car journey for a bike ride – even just once during the week, it all adds up
• Encourage a friend or family member to ride with you – here’s no better way to share a love of cycling
• Explore a new local route – Cycling UK has a library of GPX routes across the country to inspire you

Why Bike Week Matters

The numbers speak for themselves. Cycling reduces carbon emissions, eases congestion, improves physical health and has well-documented benefits for mental wellbeing.
