Join the Aotearoa Bike Challenge with us
Our staff are taking the Aotearoa Bike Challenge this February, using more bike rides to get to work and around. You and your colleagues could compete against us - why not? 🚲🚲
You know what's better than being stuck in boring car traffic? Riding a bike! Even if you're not fast it helps you to get around, get exercise, spot interesting things in the neighbourhood, and save lots of money on fuel and parking. So go on, give it a go!
The Aotearoa Bike Challenge is a competition between organisations to commute by bike during February. But it's so much fun that most people forget about the competition and just enjoy the fun of getting about by bike. Sign up for free as an individual or register your workplace: www.lovetoride.net...
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.
