PRIZES FOR BEST DRESSED & BEST BIKE
This is the Greasy Chain’s annual Retro Ride so we’re encouraging you to dress retro and if possible, ride a retro bike. However, everyone who wants to ride irrespective of bike or gear, is welcome.
Theme for the ride this year is “Back to the Future”. Please use your imagination and get involved.
Great spot prizes, music, and discounted coffee and drinks thanks to Palmy BID after the ride at Cyclista.
A registration fee of $5 is being donated to Arohanui Hospice, so it’s a good cause to support.
We’d like to see around 100 riders participate to showcase the joys of cycling, so please register and bring your friends.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
