Get on your bike and ride!

I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride my bike! Otago Polytechnic has gone all spokes and handlebars this month with the Aotearoa Bike Challenge.

Perhaps one of the more absurd events is on Tues Feb 28 where staff are invited to ride around a track in The Hub (yes, inside). They get free coffee, and cycled theme music.

Staff taking part in the Aotearoa Bike Challenge only have to cycle once for ten minutes during February to go in the draw to win a trip to Croatia!

There have already been several cycling events at Otago Polytechnic, including bike clinics for a free bike service, electric bike trials, and a leader training day where people learnt to safely lead group rides.

Events still to come:
· Thursday 23 February – Off road at Signal Hill
o 4:30pm start
o 1-1.5hr ride
· Tuesday 28 February – I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like
o 7:30-9:30pm
o Music and cycling in The Hub, Forth Street.
o Coffee for all participants.
· Tuesday 28 February – Cuppa, Cycle and Conversation

o Meet at 12noon outside F Block on Forth Street for a 45min ride and complimentary cuppa
