WA BIKE MONTH

1 - 31 OCTOBER 2020

What is WA Bike Month?

WA Bike Month, Western Australia’s annual celebration of bike riding, is back this October!

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. There will also be a focus on supporting WA local business, to assist Western Australia’s COVID-19 recovery.

WestCycle, Western Australia’s peak body for cycling, is partnered with the Department of Transport to coordinate WA Bike Month 2020.

To celebrate the lead-up to WA Bike Month 2020, we are calling on enthusiastic bike riding champions like yourself to help to get more people to ride bikes for transport, fun and for a healthier lifestyle.

Each week in September and October, two people and their nominated friend will win a $100 bike shop voucher each by entering our exciting Instagram photo competition!

This competition is your opportunity to show the rest of WA just how great bike riding is and offer your support to your friends and family.

It’s easy and fun to enter, just follow these three easy steps to enter:

Step 1. Take a photo of yourself and/or your favourite bike whilst out on a ride. This can include your favourite place to ride, your favourite bike, your favourite coffee shop to visit by bike or your local WA Bike Month event
Step 2. Share your photo on Instagram using the #ridetogetherWA hashtag
Step 3. Tag a friend/family member you want to encourage or challenge to ride a bike in October
