Applications to host a NSW Bike Week 2013 event are now open
NSW Bike Week is an annual celebration of cycling, encouraging people from all walks of life to get on a bike and ride.
Transport for NSW, in partnership with Roads and Maritime Services, will provide local event organisers with funding to support their efforts to promote cycling to their communities.
In 2013 NSW Bike Week will run from Saturday, 14 September until Sunday, 22 September.
Events that receive funding must contribute to at least one of the following objectives:
- Increase the use of local cycling infrastructure for transport and recreation.
- Provide a safe and secure environment for new and less confident cyclists to improve their cycling skills.
- Educate the community on the importance of road safety and of relevant road rules.
- Promote cycling as a safe and healthy mode of transport for short trips.
To support applicants and event organisers, there are six regional coordinators. Your questions and applications should be directed to them in the first instance.
