Regular guest writer Robert provides an update on a growing cycling group…
Wednesday November 20th 2019 marked the second birthday of the St Albans Bike Group (aka “The Wednesday Wheelers”). The St Albans Residents Association hosted a lunch to celebrate, …
It’s almost that time of year when Santa brings bicycles to all the good girls and boys (big and little). From Cycling in Christchurch, we hope that you and your families have a great festive season.
We also hope …
When we think about how long it is taking to deliver the much promised convention centre, multi-use arena/stadium, and metro sports centre (to say nothing of inner-city housing), getting things done here in a three-year timeframe seems …
The end of the year is fast approaching; fortunately that also tends to coincide with better weather for biking too. So let’s see what’s coming up this month:
“I thought of that while riding my bike” is the oft-quoted response from Albert Einstein as to how he came up with the theory of relativity. And while most of may not have a world-changing idea floating around our head, …
Biketober convenor Robert sums up this year’s activities:
The third annual Biketober Festival of Cycling held in Christchurch is over for another year. How did it go ? Did you participate in any of the 60 different events ? What …
It’s been another fantastic Biketober with lots of activities across Christchurch over the past month. If you’re quick, you can still listen in on the “Reclaiming the Streets” seminar at Tūranga this evening (5.30pm) or take part in tonight’s Halloween …
Have you been getting involved in Biketober events around Christchurch this year? I’ve seen some great photos of activities to date (even if the weather hasn’t always behaved…). You’ve only got a week to get involved in the remaining activities …
It’s hard to believe that we’re already almost halfway through Biketober for 2019. Already there have been about 25 events so far this month, with about as many again still to go. The weather this year has been a bit …
It’s about that time when I usually preview what’s coming up biking-wise over the coming month. However, when that particular month is October then it’s no ordinary month – it’s Biketober! Yes, for the third year running, you’re in …
Welcome to spring! Wow, the weather is certainly quite stunning at the moment (let’s just ignore those warnings of some looming Antarctic stratospheric thingamybob…). I’m seeing heaps of people out and about on bikes, especially on the weekends …
Brrr, it’s been pretty cold lately on a number of evenings and mornings; certainly a good excuse to dig out all your layers for your next ride. In contrast, the night of this year’s recent Winter Solstice Ride was positively …
The shortest day of the year is almost upon us – and in Christchurch that means it’s time for the annual Winter Solstice Night Ride! For the 8th year running, people from all over the city will be congregating …
June is being heralded with the first decent winter snap this weekend, so maybe you’re not relishing the prospect of getting out on your bike this month. Hopefully we can tempt you with some of the events coming up…
Last night, Christchurch played host to the 2019 Big Bike Film Night. Another fairly full Charles Luney Auditorium audience watched a diverse collection of eleven short films about all manner of biking. More on them in a moment…

Join the Peace Train Ride! This is a 9 km memorial bike ride visiting a variety of places of worship in and around the centre of Christchurch. Sharing the message “We are One”, the ride will promote peace, acceptance, tolerance …
Another month into autumn and, while the cycling activity around the city may be winding down a bit (although not as much as many assume), there are still plenty of things to keep the bike fan happy. This …
Only ten days to go until the end of Biketober 2018 and yet there are still plenty of things to do! The glorious weather at present is leaving no excuse for getting out on your bike and taking part in …
We’re halfway through Biketober and what a lot has already happened! The highlight this week was the just-completed NZ Bike Expo at Wigram Airforce Museum. Thousands of people checked out the many exhibitors on display, tried out lots of bikes, …
We are only seven days into this year’s Biketober Christchurch festival and already you’ve had the opportunity to take part in thirty different events! This has included some great rides, bike workshops, training sessions, and generally fun activities to do …
