Wigan Council currently has a strong offer relating to cycling which is intended to carry cycling culture through residents early years and into adulthood. Via the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) grant, the Council administers free bike hire, free Dr Bike sessions, free adult and family cycling activities, free Cycling Challenge projects for employees and grants for schools and businesses towards the cost of new cycle parking. The Council also partners with Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles who run community cycling initiatives and the 'On ya bike' project across the borough.
