BIKE WEEK 2019

About Bike Week 

Bike Week is Western Australia’s annual celebration of people riding bikes for transport, fun and  healthier lifestyles. If you have always wanted to reacquaint yourself with your bike or even try riding for the first time, a diverse lineup of events will be held across metropolitan and regional Western Australia.

Bike Week is a great opportunity to meet your local bike riding community or ride with your coworkers or schoolmates in a friendly, supportive and fun environment.
