Biketober 2020 Events

This session is for Greville Reserve, East Coast Road, and Forrest Hill.

Get involved in the #Learn2Ride sessions. Auckland Transport’s team of qualified instructors work alongside parents to get kids riding.

Whether starting on a balance bike or making the transition to a pedal bike, the team is there to help. Come along, chat to our instructors, try out some different bikes and get your kids riding.

Each event is weather dependent and you can drop in anytime during the session. Bikes are available on a limited basis.

Registration is not required, but keep an eye on the Auckland Transport events page on Facebook to see any cycling event updates.

Meet at Onehunga Bay Reserve by the skate ramp to ride via points of interest in Onehunga’s history! This won’t be a long ride (about 8km) and we will go the speed of our slowest rider, so it will be suitable for all ages and abilities with plenty of stops to learn about the history of our fascinating suburb.

This ride is mainly on road, and we will end at the old Carnegie Library, AKA The Good Home, for a drink/coffee/snack. Kids can play on the playground there.

Let us know if you’re interested on Bike Onehunga’s facebook page.

The Cycle Action Network (CAN) will be running a Blindzone Demonstration at the Roskill Cultural Festival. This is a chance for people to experience the road from the point of view of a truck driver. You’ll get a chance to sit in the drivers seat and see exactly what the driver can (and more importantly can’t) see and take home some useful tools that will allow to to have a more confident ride and position yourself to be safe and visible out on the road around heavy vehicles.

This event is aimed at riders of all ages and all road users to better understand how to share the road.
