BIKE Week Limerick 2026 gets into gear this weekend with a programme of events running from May 9 to 17.
A national celebration of cycling, coordinated by the National Transport Authority, hundreds of free and inclusive events are taking place across the county and country.
Mayor John Moran said Bike Week is an important annual event in Limerick, offering people of all ages and abilities an opportunity to experience the benefits of cycling in a welcoming and supportive way.
“It brings communities together and highlights cycling as part of everyday life across the city and county,” Mayor Moran said.
The main public event of Bike Week Limerick 2026 is Limerick Rolls – City Centre Street Party and Group Cycle, taking place on Davis Street on Saturday May 16. The event combines a city centre street party with a relaxed 5km cycle, suitable for families and cyclists of all ages and abilities.
Guided group cycles will travel into the city centre from Mayorstone Quarry Park (north), Castletroy Park (east) and Mungret Park (west), led by experienced bike leaders. Participants will also have the option to cycle home as part of a guided group.
Speaking about the flagship event, Príomh Chomhairleoir of Limerick City and County Council, Councillor Catherine Slattery, said: “Limerick Rolls captures the fun spirit of Bike Week, bringing people together on bikes in the heart of the city and promoting cycling as a social, accessible, and enjoyable way to move around Limerick.”
