Biketober 2019
Biketober is a month long festival of all things cycling related held in Christchurch and Auckland each October . 2019 will be our third year and work is underway to make it bigger and better than ever.
Biketober is organised by the volunteers at Spokes Canterbury.

Biketober in Christchurch was supported by AMI in 2018 by the generous donation of 25 bike helmets which were appreciated by all recipients. This year (Christchurch) we are seeking funds to make our website more professional, to support our many volunteers who help out, and create some wonderful events for our 1000's of participants. The vast majority of these events are free; some are run in association with other groups and events e.g. Heritage Week, Meet in the Middle, NZBikeExpo. We are flexible as to how the $ would be used, e.g. major event sponsorship. My thanks for the opportunity to make this application.
Best regards

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
