Team Green Britain Bike Week

Team Green Britain Bike Week 2011 took place 18th - 26th June nationwide. With almost 2,000 events and almost half a million participants, this year's event was a huge success.

Team Green Britain Bike Week is the UK's biggest mass participation cycling event - with almost half a million people partici- pating at events across the country. The aim is to get more people cycling, more often, and the event offers something for everyone - from families, schools and companies, to seasoned cyclists and those who have never cycled before.

Britain's Biggest Bike Fix

Team Green Britain Bike Week this year hosted ‘Britain's Biggest Bike Fix' - an ambitious attempt to fix as many bikes as possible during one week. An estimated 26,000 bikes were fixed at events nationwide.

Organisers were able to take part in Britain's Biggest Bike Fix by offering ‘Dr Bike' services at their local event, and encouraging people who own a bike, but don't use it, to bring it along to the event, have it checked and rediscover the joy of travelling on two wheels.
