During Bike week in June, the mid-sized Swedish town of Motala transforms into an international mecca for cyclists from all over the world. In the City Park, you’ll find a food court, children’s activities, and exhibitors – all right next to the Nordic Bike Expo, the race bib tent, and the atmospheric finish line.
There’s something here for the whole family. On the stage in the City Park and at the “Speakers’ Corner” at Nordic Bike Expo, you’ll find daily inspiration, entertainment, and encounters with fascinating personalities. Welcome to a celebration for everyone – with or without a bike!
