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: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
