I am delighted to see ‘Portlaoise and Portarlington Cycle Bus coming soon too, as this innovative and impactful new initiative will make cycling more accessible for school goers in these communities.”

    Sport & Leisure Officer, Ann Marie Maher O’Brien said, “It’s great to see over 50 fantastic events happening in local communities across the county for this year’s ‘Bike Week’. I encourage those already cycling, or those interested in discovering more about cycling, to get involved.  There are 12 schools participating in Bike Week Laois and 15 youth and community organisations.  There are 3 mini festivals are being delivered by SVT Activity & Wellness Hub, Rathdowney Errill Activity Hub and Irish Country Roads Durrow with an amazing array of options for cyclists of all levels.
