Go By Bike Day Update
Go By Bike Day takes place on Wednesday, February 16, as part of Bike Wise Month – New Zealand’s annual celebration of the bicycle.
It is a nationwide event which encourages Kiwis to swap the car, bus or train for pedal power for just one day, to see how easy and fun commuting to work or school by bike can be.
Those travelling by pedal power will be able to swing by any of the 50+ free Go By Bike Day Breakfasts being held around the country.
Go By Bike Day is one of more than 100 cycling events being held around the country during February, including:
• Mayoral Challenge (Weekends throughout
February) – A national event in which towns and cities
compete for the title of “Cycle Mad City” by attempting
to get the most people to take part in a fun ride behind the
local mayor.
• Bike Wise Challenge (February 1 - 28)
– An online competition in which businesses sign up and
compete to see which can get the greatest proportion of
staff to ride at least 2km during the month.
Bike Wise
Month is a New Zealand Transport Agency and Ministry of
Health initiative. Further information and event details are
available at www.bikewise.co.nz
