Biketober 2019 Planning is Underway
A message to all neighbourhoods in Christchurch. Biketober Festival of Cycling 2019 is happening in Christchurch this October for the third year running. See biketober.nz for information and check the variety of activities offered in 2018. Biketober is for anyone who wishes to ride, fix, learn about, create, or even race a bike for any reason. There were almost 100 different activities to choose from in 2018, 95% of them free. If you have any ideas that you think would make a good biking activity for this year, or wish to help out with the planning, contact our team at biketober@gmail.com. If your social group, school, biking club, or just a group of friends wishes to participate with a specific Biketober Event, give us a shout.
