It might be getting a bit frostier, but funnily enough the cycling action around Christchurch is just starting to hot up! A number of exciting bike-related activities are happening this month, both on and off your saddle. As usual, keep …
The colder, wetter stuff is showing up a little more often now as autumn gets into full stride and winter looms. I’ve certainly noticed a (slight) drop-off already in the numbers biking to school and work, as the shadows lengthen …
Planning for this year’s Biketober has started in earnest. Over the next few months there will be a frenzy of meetings: meetings of the committee variety, meetings for fundraising applications, meetings to ‘let’s have a coffee and chat’, and …
As summer slowly fades away (although it’s currently a rather glorious autumn weekend), the regular biking activities are also starting to quieten a little too. We’ve listed a few below; remember to keep an eye on our Events & Activities …
Last weekend (24-25 March) Sean Pawson and Josh Geddes took turns pedaling a cycle rickshaw 250kms across the South Island from Kumara Beach, over Arthurs and Porters Passes, crossing the Canterbury Plains, and ending up at New Brighton Beach in …

Guest blogger Robert has big plans for 2018…
Youth brings with it dreams devoid of boundaries; the desire to achieve all things and everything, the strength and ability to follow through. Very quickly however things change, the wish list of …
The traditional national bike month has come and gone; I hope that many of you were clocking up the kms for the Aotearoa Bike Challenge (have you logged all your rides?). Great to see a number of you at …
Summer continues to impress weather-wise, so there’s been no real excuse to get on the saddle and go for a ride. And there continue to be a range of biking activities to keep people happy; hopefully the weather will keep …
Another year over; time to reflect on what has happened cycling-wise over the past 12 months in Christchurch, since our last review. And what a crazy, wild ride it has been…
We’ll start with the good stuff. And for …
December is often associated with a lot of rushing around preparing for and celebrating Christmas and the holidays; hardly a time to be holding biking events you’d think. And yet, at the same time, the weather is just fantastic at …
Yep, I know, we’re all barely getting over the rush that was Biketober – but wait there’s more! Well you know there’s more, because this is Christchurch and we always have a ton of cycling things happening around the city, …
The first NZ Bike Expo has been a great success. To save me having to write something, I’ll simply bring you the words of Expo organisers Jo Mackay and Krissy O’Connor:
The first-ever NZ Bike Expo, which was held in …
I haven’t managed to write many other cycling posts lately – that’s because I’ve been so busy with Biketober! We’ve had a lot of great activities (including last week’s Asia-Pacific Cycle Congress – presentations now available online) …
Labour Weekend seems an apt time to be confirming a change of Government (and a cycle-friendly one at that), so why not celebrate by taking part in a few Biketober activities? After a busy week of activities around the …
Hard to believe that we’re almost at the halfway point of Biketober – and there’s still plenty to go. Some damp weather last week took its toll on some events, but it was great to see many enjoying the free …
Biketober Christchurch is underway! The month-long celebration of cycling kicked off last weekend with a flurry of rides and other activities on Sunday 1st; there was a fantastic turnout at the Streets for People party. We talked to heaps of …
