With WA Bike Month pedalling back into our calendars this October, its time celebrate all things cycling. Whether you’re a seasoned bike-rider or just dusting off your helmet, there are plenty of activities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy.
WA Bike Month is the State’s annual celebration of bike riding, and RAC has proudly contributed $25,000 in funding to this year’s grants program. By supporting WA Bike Month, we aim to highlight how alternative transport solutions like bike riding can bring communities together, reduce emissions, and improve mental, physical and social health and wellbeing.
Below, you’ll find a list of WA Bike Month events hosted and co-funded by RAC.
Stay tuned for other WA Bike Month activities across the State. Details will be available soon on the WA Bike Month website.
