As World Bike Week rolls on, Cumbria joins in the celebration of cycling and its growing role in everyday life. Organized by Cycling UK, the annual event offers a national platform to promote the many advantages of choosing two wheels over four.
World Bike Week puts a strong focus on how cycling can be seamlessly woven into daily routines. Whether you’re an avid cyclist or haven’t touched a bike in years, the initiative encourages everyone to explore cycling as a practical, enjoyable, and eco-friendly means of transport and exercise.
The benefits of cycling are far-reaching. From improving personal health and mental wellbeing to cutting down on carbon emissions and fostering stronger, more connected communities, cycling proves itself as much more than a hobby.
Bike Week has a rich legacy in the UK, running since 1923. Over the past decade, it has gained momentum not only across the UK but also in major cities and countries throughout Asia, America, and Europe. Its popularity continues to grow, helped along by celebrity supporters like Fearne Cotton, Olivia Williams, and Jeremy Vine, who have all participated in past events.
In Cumbria, where the scenic landscapes provide a perfect backdrop for cycling, the local love for biking shines especially bright during this week-long celebration.
