Get Involved

Cycling Ireland initiatives encourage more people to get involved in cycling, regardless of factors such as previous experience, gender or age. 


Initiatives include programmes such Cycle Right which is the national standard for cycle training. It is produced and facilitated by Cycling Ireland. Cycle Right provides practical skills and safety training to promote competent and confident cyclists. The Cycle Right programme operates in collaboration with Department of Transport and RSA.


Cycling Ireland promotes and supports several Women in Sport initiatives including the Move2B Leadership Programme, Women in Sport Week, and HER Outdoors Week. 


Annual initiatives such as Bike Week and Active Schools Week help promote cycling and give people a chance to try a new discipline or get involved for the first time. 


Community Bike Ride and Park Pedal are both free to attend and take place on a regular basis. Both initiatives are open to cyclists of all levels.
