Explore More About What is Happening

A person walks across a city centre street at a designated crossing. The road is quiet, with only a few vehicles visible, and is lined with historic stone buildings and shops. Planters with flowers are placed along the pavement, and the bright blue sky suggests a sunny day.

About
Cyclists and pedestrians use a riverside bridge on a sunny day. In the foreground, a cyclist wearing a blue helmet rides along a shared walking and cycling path beside a white railing. Several other people are walking and cycling further along the route. Modern buildings and the River Tyne are visible in the background beneath a blue sky with light clouds.

Participate
View of the River Tyne in Newcastle upon Tyne, showing the Gateshead Millennium Bridge in the foreground and the Tyne Bridge in the background. Buildings line both sides of the river, with quayside walkways, moored boats, and reflections on the water under a bright sky.

Partners
Several people are gathered under a blue canopy decorated with orange and purple “Car Free Day” bunting at a bicycle maintenance event. In the centre, a bright orange bicycle is mounted on a repair stand while two people work on the rear wheel. Another person stands at a table with paperwork and bike repair tools. Additional bicycles and repair equipment are visible in the background.
