A short pootle? An off-road challenge? What are you doing for Bike Week?
Whether it’s a one mile pootle around a park or a challenging off-road route, we want to hear from you.
You might be riding with colleagues, setting up a breakfast ride to school, university or work, putting on a charity ride or arranging a guided tour of your village by bike.
Or instead of a ride, if you’re handy with a tool kit, you could provide friends or colleagues with some bike maintenance and safety tips, helping them to get pedalling.
