WA BIKE MONTH

WA Bike Month, Western Australia’s annual celebration of bike riding.

The primary aim of WA Bike Month is to promote and encourage people of all ages and abilities to ride bikes for transport, fun and/or for a healthier lifestyle.

The Bike Week/Bike Month program has been run for over 30 years by the Department of Transport and is valued by local governments and communities across metropolitan and regional Western Australia. In 2016, WestCycle partnered with the Department of Transport to coordinate and deliver the program that has seen it grow from “Bike Week” to a month-long campaign under the “WA Bike Month” brand reaching more West Australians each year.
