We’re bringing together all things bike-related this spring, for anyone interested in cycling. You might be a commuter, cycling family, sports cyclist, or someone who’d just like to meet others who enjoy being out and about by bike.

Over 50 events and activities are planned, including social bike rides, go-by-bike breakfasts, a pedal-powered cinema, bike maintenance workshops, a cargo bike rally, and more. Many events are organised by the amazing volunteer groups we have in town. Some happen anyway, some of them are Biketober ‘specials’ and others are bigger events that we’re linking up with, like Avon Otakaro’s family event ‘Meet in the Middle’, BECA Heritage week and New Zealand’s first ever Bike Expo.

The NZ Bike Expo at the Air Force Museum at Wigram on 28-29 October is a consumer show with a community heart. It’s for everyone interested in bicycles, from sports cyclists to recreational riders, kids, commuters, cycle tourers, and those interested in e-bikes. If you’re looking to buy a new bicycle or bike-related gear, keen to try out e-bikes, planning an adventure or holiday on cycle trails or want to enter an event, the Expo will get you on your journey. See nzbikeexpo.nz.

During the month, make sure you also pick up your Biketober passport! The Biketober passport will take you to 16 bike-friendly venues throughout October along the new major cycleways. Hand your stamped passport in at the NZ Bike Expo, your final destination, where there’s a chance to win some fabulous prizes.

More details about Biketober, including a full programme of events, can be found at www.biketober.nz.... Or look us up on Facebook and Twitter at @biketoberchch.

Trees for fire wood

Trevor from Linwood

Hi Neighbors,
With the winter winds moving on its time to fill the wood shed again, I am looking for some one that might have a tree that I could chop up for firewood over the coming months to keep the family warm next winter.

I have a chainsaw and axes so can deal to most things.

We don't have a trailer or a tow ball to get one so something we can drive to would be best.

Short dark and handsome guy seeks short girl for fun times
Hi my name is Ziggy and my mum says I am really handsome. I'm a labradoodle with dark curly hair, a very engaging personality and have been told I am highly intelligent. I enjoy; tormenting the cat, long walks on the beach, chasing balls, and cosy nights by the fire. I am seeking a cute girl, maybe a spaniel or another poodle (open to meeting anyone though), to make some babies with. If you think we could be a match then phone my mum, if she likes the look of you the we can set up a date.

In anticipation
