Bike to Work Day

Friday 21 June
7.30am to 10am
Cycle to Belfast City Hall and get a free breakfast.

Lose the car and the save money on parking by cycling to work on Friday 21 June. We’ll give you a free breakfast in the Bobbin Café at Belfast City Hall if you do!

Cycle alone or join us at one of seven different meet-up points across Belfast at 8am. The meet up points are:
Each route will lead cyclists to the Gasworks for 8.30am, where we will join together for one big ride to the City Hall. If you enjoy cycling, why not encourage other new commuters to give it a go too?

PSNI cycling officers will be on hand to give you anti-theft advice and perform bike security marking. We’ll also be hosting Dr Bike maintenance checks on your bike and super keen cyclists can take part in a charity spin challenge to find the fastest cyclist over 1 mile.
