Bikeweek has continued to grow in size and scope each year, thanks to the efforts made by local governments, community groups, workplaces, cycling organisations and schools across the State.

Bikeweek 2011 was officially opened on Sunday, 20 March with the ever popular HBF Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma, which attracted more than 8,700 people. The celebration also included a wide range of community rides and breakfasts, cycling skills workshops, slow bike rides, treasure hunts, bicycle swap meets and film screenings.

The various Bikeweek 2011 events offered participants of all ages the opportunity to experience the fun of riding a bike, be it around their neighbourhood, or exploring other parts of our City and State.

There were Bikeweek events just right for everyone, from those new to cycling, to those back on their bikes after a break, or the more experienced riders.

This year's Bikeweek successfully attracted over 30,000 adults and children to more than 60 community and 160 school-based events held throughout Western Australia.
