Bike Week is held in the first week of March and promotes recreational, sport and transport bicycle riding in Tasmania and aims to give people opportunities and support to ride more often. Bicycle Network and other cycling groups organise activities and promotion during the week such as social rides, organised rides, bicycle valet parking, information pop-ups and film nights. For the full calendar of what all the bike groups are doing during Bike Week, visit the Tasmanian Bicycle Council’s website. In 2025 Bike Week will be held Saturday 1 March – Saturday 8 March
