What is the Active Travel Bike Event?
The Active Travel Summit Bike Event is all about helping everyone and anyone to begin or return to cycling through a series of FREE activities and services, delivered by organisations who are part of the community and address local needs.
With a vision to make cycling accessible to everyone, their mission is to deliver tools that enable members of the community to start cycling through fixing bikes, teaching skills and leading rides.
The event is organised by Liverpool BID Company, supported by local authorities and together we address a clear set of aims and objectives:
• Encourage people who don’t already, to cycle

• Improve people’s confidence to cycle
• Improve the perception of cycle safety
