Chris Lyttle MLA said: “I think initiatives such as Bike Week are a great way to encourage people to cycle more.
“Cycling is a great way to exercise and can be a cheaper way to travel to work. With rising fuel costs and improved cycling lanes, it is a great time to take up cycling.
“I had a good start to Bike Week by winning the MLA race around Stormont and I hope that others will cycle not just during this week but also once Bike Week ends.”
