Bike Week 2010

19th to 27th June 2010

Team Green Britain as its new headline sponsor to support the campaign in 2010, which has the theme of ‘Everyday cycling for everyone’. Team Green Britain Bike Week will run from 19-27 June this year and will challenge people to rethink their everyday journeys and switch to cycling as the most convenient way to get around.

Team Green Britain, founded by EDF Energy, is a movement that enables people to live in a more sustainable way. Team Green Britain aims to help Britons reduce their carbon footprint by 2012 and provides advice on how to make everyday journeys as sustainable as possible. The sponsorship will fund twelve group mentoring workshops around the UK for new and existing event organisers as well as a set of tailored Event Organiser Guides.

Team Green Britain aims to inspire the nation to work together and lower the nation’s carbon footprint by 2012. By getting back on our bikes, we can all play our part by reducing our own carbon footprints, while exercising and saving time and money too.

The mentoring workshops, which begin in early March, will provide inspiration as well as practical advice and support for everyone from existing organisers of large events to those just considering their first Dr Bike morning. Event organisers can sign up by visiting www.bikeweek.org.uk or calling 0845 672 0661.

Five event organiser guides will be tailored to suit the size and type of events, including small, medium and large events plus two specifically for schools and workplaces. Each Guide is packed with ideas and inspiration for organising and promoting events with a comprehensive checklist for a smooth-running event.

Plus, in a new feature for 2010, Team Green Britain event sustainability consultant, Toby Radcliffe, will provide expert advice online on how to minimise the environmental impact of your Bike Week event. The revamped Bike Week website will feature a brand new cycle calculator for cyclists to work out everything from the amount of money they’ve saved in petrol to how much longer they’ll live if they cycle the same amount every day.
