Bike Week is one of the UK's biggest cycling events and is an annual opportunity to promote cycling as a source of fitness and fun. Up and down the UK, thousands of free cycling events will provide the opportunity for everyone from total novices to passionate cyclists to get on their bikes.
West Yorkshire District Councils and employers are hosting a programme of events to encourage people to get out on their bikes more often. To see what is happening in your area, download the attachments below.
