National Bike Week starts tomorrow, Saturday, May 14 and will run until Sunday, May 22, with events across the country.
Events range from family-friendly cycles in most counties to business-focused events such as the Electric Cargo Bikes for Business Webinar hosted by Dublin City Council and a Cargo Bike Demonstration for Business at Swords Castle, and a webinar on the European Cyclists’ Federation’s Cycling Friendly Employer certification.
The cycle events this weekend include the Monthly Cycles starting 12 midday from Grand Canal Dock in Dublin, and a DLR Bike Week Coastal Cycle on Sunday (May 15) from 10am (registration required). A cycle along the Dodder tomorrow is booked out.
