The Tasmanian Bicycle Council coordinates the statewide Bike Week, held in the first week of March every year since 2001.
Bike Week promotes recreational, sport and transport bicycle riding and aims to give people opportunities and support to ride more often.
Our member groups organise activities and promotion during the week such as social rides, organised rides, bicycle valet parking, information pop-ups and film nights.
