It’s the UK’s annual Bike Week from the 14th to the 22nd of June 2008, the perfect time to get your children excited about cycling. Kit them out with a bike of their own, like this gorgeous Groovy Chick bike for girls, and join one of the family events happening across the country. And if they’re too small to cycle their own bikes, consider a bike trailer or a trailgator so that they can join in the fun. To find an event in your area, check out the Bike Week website (www.bikeweek.org.uk).

During the weekends of 28-29 June and 5-6 July 2008, eco-houses in Brighton & Hove will be throwing open their doors to the public in the Eco Open Houses project. The event is aimed at empowering and inspiring members of the public to make changes to their own homes to improve their energy efficiency and eco-friendliness by seeing what practical steps other people have taken in their homes. To find out which houses are included in the event keep an eye on the project website (www.ecoopenhouses.org).
