Series of events announced for Sligo during National Bike Week
The annual event, supported by the National Transport Authority and celebrated nationwide, aims to promote cycling as a sustainable, healthy, and enjoyable mode of transportation.
This year's programme offers a variety of activities designed to engage cyclists of all ages and abilities including Balance Bike sessions and Community Leisure Cycles to Spin to Splash events.
Councillor Declan Bree, Cathaoirleach of Sligo County Council said: 'Bike Week is a wonderful initiative that highlights the importance of cycling for both our health and the environment. I encourage everyone to participate and experience the beauty of Sligo on two wheels'.
The week-long celebration highlights the numerous benefits of cycling, including improved physical health, reduced carbon emissions, and enhanced community connections. It also encourages individuals who haven't cycled in a long time to get back in the saddle or those who have never cycled before, to discover the simple pleasure of cycling.
