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
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.
Make the Most of Bike Week with Secure Cycle Store
Planning to ride during Bike Week? Make sure your bike is ready for it. Whether you need a solid storage solution to protect your investment, security for your workplace bike rack, or a reliable lock for a new commuting route, we’ve got you covered at Secure Cycle Store.
What if we designed our streets around people instead of cars?
Cambridge has just opened England’s first “cycle street”, a Dutch-inspired concept where cyclists are given priority and motorists are supposed to give way. The new scheme on Adams Road is designed to create a safer, more accessible environment for an expected 3,000 cyclists per day.
While the project has sparked debate over its £2.4 million cost, the broader conversation is far more interesting, how should cities evolve to support sustainable growth, safer travel, and healthier communities?
Around the world, cities are rethinking transport infrastructure to prioritise active travel, reduce congestion, and improve quality of life. Cambridge’s latest initiative may be just one street, but it represents a larger shift in how urban spaces are being designed for the future to support Active Travel UK initiatives.
Whether you support the project or question the investment, it’s another reminder that the future of mobility isn’t just about technology, it’s about reimagining the spaces we already have.
Should more UK cities adopt cyclist-first infrastructure, or should investment be focused elsewhere?
Secure Cycle Shelter Installation with 22 Bike Spaces
This project involved the supply and installation of a secure 22-space bespoke cycle compound designed for high-density bike storage in a compact footprint. The completed installation combined Secure Bike Bunker Lockers, Semi-Vertical Bike Racks, Solar Lighting, Personnel Lockers, Mesh Fencing Security, Self Closing Swing Gates Equipped with a Digital Combination Lock and a Public Bike Repair Stand to create a modern, low-maintenance cycling facility suitable for residential developments, apartment blocks, commercial sites, schools and public sector environments.
The cycle shelter measured 4600mm x 4100mm and featured a fully mesh-clad steel fencing for increased visibility and security. A mesh access gate was fitted with a self-closing system and double-sided combination latch lock, helping to provide controlled access while maintaining ease of use for cyclists.
To maximise cycle parking capacity, the compound was fitted with Semi-Vertical Cycle Racks and 2 Double Sided Bike Bunker Lockers, totalling a 22-space bike capacity. The semi-vertical bike rack design allows bikes to be stored efficiently while reducing the overall footprint required for cycle parking. Each rack incorporated a secure three-point locking system, allowing cyclists to secure frames and wheels safely.
The installation also included integrated solar-powered LED lighting, delivering a powerful 1400-lumen light output for improved visibility and security during evening and low-light conditions. The intelligent motion-activated lighting system uses a high-performance 12v solar panel capable of supporting up to 500 activations per night, eliminating the need for mains electrical connections while reducing ongoing energy costs.
To support cyclist convenience and further support Active Travel UK initiatives, 8 Personnel Lockers and a Public Bike Repair Stand With Integrated Pump where installed inside the shelter. The repair stand provides users with easy access to essential tools for quick adjustments and repairs, making it ideal for public spaces, residential developments, cycle hubs, schools, and workplace environments.
This secure cycle shelter installation showcases the benefits of combining space-saving bike storage, durable galvanised steel construction, secure access systems, solar lighting, and public cycle maintenance facilities into one cohesive cycling infrastructure solution. The result is a secure, attractive, and highly functional cycle parking facility built for long-term everyday use.
Bespoke Timber-Clad Cycle Shelter Installation
We delivered a fully Bespoke Trinity Timber Cycle Shelter designed to provide secure, high-capacity bicycle storage for residents while complementing the surrounding environment. The project combined premium cycle parking equipment with durable, low-maintenance materials to create a modern cycle storage solution built for long-term daily use.
The completed shelter measured 7500mm wide x 4000mm deep x 2700mm high and was manufactured using a galvanised steel framework with a Black RAL 9005 powder coated finish. The heavy-duty steel structure provides exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for exposed outdoor environments and high-traffic residential developments.
The shelter was clad externally using PAR treated timber with a black painted finish. The hit-and-miss timber cladding design allows airflow throughout the enclosure while maintaining security and visual privacy for stored bicycles. Combined with the black powder coated steel frame, the finished shelter delivers a contemporary appearance that integrates naturally into modern residential schemes, apartment developments and urban communal spaces.
The shelter incorporated a centrally located single swing access gate complete with a Digit Combination Lock, providing controlled resident access. The fully enclosed design helps protect bicycles from theft, vandalism and adverse weather conditions, creating a practical long-term cycle storage solution for residents.
The roof structure was finished using galvanised box profile roof sheets with matching powder coated flashings fitted to the front and side elevations. This provides a durable weatherproof covering capable of withstanding year-round exposure while maintaining a clean, professional finish across the entire structure.
The project utilised the highly regarded 2ParkUp Two-Tier Bike Rack with Gas Assist, one of the most advanced and reliable two-tier bike parking solutions currently available on the market. Designed and engineered for ease of use, the system allows users to safely and efficiently access upper-tier spaces using assisted lifting, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
The Klaver 2ParkUp system is FietsParKeur certified, tested to more than 20,000 operational cycles and backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. With over 50,000 installed cycle spaces across Europe, it has become a trusted solution for developers, local authorities, transport hubs and residential schemes seeking secure, space-efficient bicycle parking infrastructure.
The shelter and all associated components were supplied in kit form and assembled on site by our installation team. Works included installation of the galvanised steel framework, fitting of all treated timber cladding panels, roofing installation, flashings, gate assembly, locking mechanism integration and installation of all internal cycle parking systems.
The completed installation at Canonbury Heights now provides residents with a secure, weather-protected and highly efficient bicycle storage facility that encourages sustainable travel while enhancing the functionality of the site.
Timber Clad Cycle Shelter & Bespoke Bin Store Installation
For this project, the objective was to deliver two large-scale, fully integrated installations that combine durability, security and visual appeal while seamlessly fitting into the site. Our client requested a bespoke 32-Space Trinity Timber Cycle Shelter alongside a custom communal bin store, both designed and finished to provide long-term performance with a refined, contemporary appearance.
The cycle shelter measured 12,500mm wide by 2,100mm deep and 2,100mm high. The structure was constructed using a galvanised steel framework, powder coated in Grey RAL 7022 to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and a clean finish. The shelter was designed with an open front to maximise accessibility and visibility, while the rear and side were clad in PAR treated hit-and-miss timber to soften the visual impact of the structure and complement the surrounding environment.
Internally, the shelter was fitted with 16 Sheffield Cycle Stands. The installation was designed to balance practicality with user experience, ensuring cyclists have easy access while maintaining efficient use of the available footprint.
Alongside the cycle shelter, a fully Bespoke Communal Bin Store was installed measuring 10,600mm x 3,015mm x 2,100mm. Matching the cycle shelter in both material specification and finish, the bin store featured a galvanised and powder coated steel frame combined with PAR treated timber hit-and-miss cladding on all sides. The cohesive design ensures both structures work together visually across the development.
A key feature of the bin store was the inclusion of centrally positioned timber clad double gates, complete with heavy-duty drop bolts and a Digit Combination Locking System to provide controlled access and improved site security. The gates were fabricated to maintain the clean timber-clad appearance while remaining robust enough for constant daily use within a communal residential setting.
Both structures were finished with galvanised box profile roof sheets designed to provide long-lasting weather protection and efficient water runoff. Powder coated flashings were installed to the front and side elevations for a refined finish, while black half-round guttering systems with rear downpipes were incorporated to manage rainwater effectively and maintain the clean appearance of the installations over time.
The completed project demonstrates how robust cycle and waste storage facilities can be successfully integrated into modern developments without compromising on aesthetics. By combining galvanised steel construction with treated timber cladding and carefully considered finishing details, the installation provides a durable, low-maintenance and visually appealing solution designed for long-term daily use.
At Green Lane Medical Centre in Liverpool, we were commissioned to deliver a robust, secure, and visually cohesive cycle parking solution that would support both staff and visitors whilst encouraging sustainable travel.
The project centred around the supply and installation of a galvanised and powder-coated Canal Curved Cycle Shelter designed to accommodate 6 bikes. The shelter features clear plastic cladding, the front of the shelter was left open to allow easy access and natural flow of movement.
Finished in RAL 8014 Sepia Brown, the structure was carefully selected to complement the surrounding environment of the medical centre. Measuring 2100mm in width, depth, and height, the shelter offers a compact yet highly functional footprint suitable for the site.
Internally, the shelter was fitted with a 6 Space Sheffield Toast Rack. To further expand capacity and enhance usability, we also supplied and installed 10 additional Sheffield Cycle Stands adjacent to the shelter. This extension significantly increased the total parking capacity, enabling secure storage for up to 20 bicycles. The Sheffield stands were chosen for their simplicity, strength, and compatibility with a wide range of bicycle types, offering users flexible and reliable locking options.
By significantly increasing cycle parking capacity in a secure and accessible manner, Green Lane Medical Centre is now better equipped to support active travel and provide a positive experience for cyclists visiting the site.
At Riverside Court in Oxford, we were commissioned to design, manufacture, and install a cycle storage and waste management solution that balanced durability, security, and visual consistency. The project, required a robust yet refined approach to accommodate both high-capacity Bespoke Cycle Parking and practical Bin Storage within a residential setting.
The brief called for a large-scale cycle shelter alongside two separate bin storage units, all unified through consistent materials, finishes, and thoughtful detailing. Measuring 8350mm in length, 2300mm in width, and 2150mm in height, the shelter provides secure, weather-protected storage for up to 26 bicycles. The structure features a steel framework with galvanised roof sheets and flashings, all powder coated in Black RAL 9005 for a clean, modern appearance and long-term resilience against the elements. The front and rear elevations are clad in pressure-treated brown PAR timber, offering a natural finish.
The shelter has galvanised mesh sides and a mesh gate system with a self-closing mechanism. A double-sided combination latch lock ensures ease of access for users while maintaining security and latch protectors add an extra layer of durability and tamper resistance. 26 Semi-Vertical Galvanised Cycle Racks were installed internally, each designed with a 3 point locking system to maximise security while optimising space efficiency.
Complementing the cycle shelter are two bespoke bin storage units, each tailored to different spatial and functional requirements within the site. The first Bin Store measures 3600mm by 3810mm with a height of 2100mm. Constructed with surface-mounted galvanised posts connected by crossbars, it is fully clad in the same pressure-treated brown timber using a hit-and-miss arrangement. This unit includes a roof with galvanised sheets and flashings, all finished in Black RAL 9005 to match the cycle shelter. Access is provided via 2000mm mesh-clad doors fitted with a drop bolt mechanism and heavy-duty automatic gate latches, ensuring both practicality and secure containment of waste bins.
The second Bin Store was designed as a more open structure, measuring 4550mm by 2600mm with a height of 1500mm and incorporating 300mm infill panels. Built using over-ground fixed galvanised posts and crossbars, this unit is similarly clad in brown treated timber in a hit-and-miss style but intentionally designed without a roof to suit its specific location and use.
This project at Riverside Court demonstrates how practical infrastructure such as cycle and bin storage can be elevated through careful design, material selection, and attention to detail. The finished installation not only meets functional requirements but also enhances the overall appearance and usability of the space for residents.
Liverpool City Councils, Clubmoor Children’s Centre and Family Hub required a practical yet thoughtfully designed storage solution that could support both active travel and everyday family needs. The project called for a dual-purpose shelter that would seamlessly accommodate cycle parking alongside secure pram storage, while maintaining a welcoming, safe, and visually appealing presence within a community-focused environment.
The resulting installation is a fully Bespoke Cycle and Pram Shelter, measuring 4600mm wide by 2100mm deep and 2100mm high, designed specifically to maximise functionality within the available footprint. Constructed from a robust galvanised steel frame and finished with a durable powder coating in Royal Blue (RAL 260 30 35), the structure delivers both long-term resilience and a vibrant, family-friendly aesthetic that complements the surrounding facility.
A key feature of the design is the carefully considered dual-zone layout. The left-hand side has been left open-fronted to provide easy, unobstructed access for cyclists, encouraging regular use and supporting sustainable transport habits among staff and visitors. Within this space, 3 Sheffield Stands have been installed, offering secure parking for up to 6 bicycles, including a combination of adult and junior stands to cater to a range of users.
On the right-hand side, the shelter transitions into a secure, enclosed pram storage area. This section is fully clad and fitted with a single swing gate, complete with a digital combination lock to ensure controlled access and peace of mind for families. The inclusion of a central wall divider enhances both security and organisation, clearly separating the two functional areas while maintaining a cohesive overall structure.
Clear PETG cladding has been used on all enclosed sides and the gate, allowing natural light to pass through the shelter while maintaining visibility for safety and supervision. This choice of material not only creates a bright and open feel but also ensures durability and ease of maintenance, these are essential qualities for a high-traffic community setting.
This project demonstrates how a tailored approach to design and installation can deliver a highly functional, durable, and visually cohesive solution. By combining cycle storage with secure pram facilities in a single, well-integrated structure, the Clubmoor Children’s Centre and Family Hub now benefits from an enhanced outdoor space that supports both sustainability and the practical needs of local families.
The initial brief for this project was for the supply and installation of a 6-Space Canal Curve Cycle Shelter, designed to provide secure, practical, and visually clean cycle storage. The shelter measured 2100mm in width, depth, height, and featured a durable galvanised steel frame complemented by clear PETG cladding to the rear and sides. The open-fronted design ensures easy access while maintaining protection from harsh weather. As part of the installation, a Sheffield Toast Rack Stand was assembled and securely positioned, creating capacity for up to 6 bicycles.
Following the successful delivery of the initial installation, our client re-contacted us to expand their cycle storage facility. This next phase involved the installation of a larger, 12-Space Canal Curve Cycle Shelter, positioned alongside the existing structure to create a cohesive solution.
The new shelter significantly increased capacity, measuring 4600mm wide, 2100mm deep, and 2100mm high, it utilised the same robust galvanised steel frame and clear PETG cladding to ensure durability, weather resistance, and a consistent aesthetic. A Sheffield Toast Rack Stand was installed within the shelter, providing secure parking for up to 12 bicycles.
As with the initial project, the installation process was handled end-to-end by our team. This included full on-site assembly of the shelter structure and careful integration with the existing shelter.
This project demonstrates our commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality cycle storage solutions that meet our clients requirements. It also highlights the importance we place on client relationships, ensuring that every installation not only meets expectations but builds the confidence needed for future projects. The expansion from a 6-space to a combined 18-space shelter reflects both the success of the original installation and the trust placed in our team to deliver consistent results at a larger scale.
