Team Green Britain Bike Week began in 2010 as a collaboration between Team Green Britain and the UK’s long-standing Bike Week. This partnership was initiated by EDF Energy to encourage more people to cycle regularly and to promote the benefits of cycling as a healthy, practical, and eco-friendly mode of transportation.
The initiative has grown significantly since its inception, with participation from hundreds of thousands of people across the UK.
It has also received support from prominent figures like Olympic cyclist Victoria Pendleton and organizations involved in the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The week has become a key event in promoting a sustainable and active lifestyle while reducing carbon footprints and fostering community spirit.
