Street Art Bike Challenge
Aucklanders are encouraged to discover the city’s street art scene by bike with the Street Art Bike Challenge, for a chance to win $1,000 worth of amazing prizes.
The EcoMatters Bike Hubs have launched the Street Art Bike Challenge, a month-long photo treasure hunt by bike, in which people are invited to look for street art across the Auckland region and share their photos with the hashtag #StreetArtBikeChallenge.
Here’s how it works:
– Jump on your bike and discover Auckland’s array of street art.
– Take a photo that includes a piece of street art, you, and your bike.
– Share your photo with the #StreetArtBikeChallenge hashtag in a public post on your Facebook or Instagram profile with the street name and suburb. Where the artist’s name is visible, please credit or tag the artist in your post.
– Each photo of you, your bike, and a new piece of street art is one entry for the prize draw.
Optional extras:
– Tag a mate to invite them to the challenge and your entry counts twice!
– Include a story about your bike ride in your post to enter the competition for Best Story.

Time: 5:45pm
Area: Central City
Location: Room 109 – B15, Auckland University general library basement, Princes Street, Auckland CBD
We are going to watch Together We Cycle, which is a very cool documentary about the revival of the Dutch cycling culture!
Foyer nibbles in the foyer from 17:45-ish. Maybe earlier if we are onto it 😉
The film Together We Cycle investigates the critical events that has led to the revival of the Dutch cycling culture. For most people, cycling in the Netherlands, seems a natural phenomenon. However, until the 1970s the development of mobility in the Netherlands followed trends across the globe. The bicycle had had its day, and the future belonged to the car. The only thing that had to be done was to adapt cities to the influx of cars.
Then Dutch society took a different turn. Against all odds people kept on cycling. The question why this happened in the Netherlands, has not an easy answer. There are many factors, events and circumstances that worked together, both socially and policy-wise. In Together we cycle, key players tell the story of the bumpy road which led to the current state. Where cycling is an obvious choice for most citizens.
We will also be generally loitering around afterward and hanging out, with food provided (probably pizza). Gluten free, vegan options will be available.
Venue is wheelchair accessible.

Tall Bike Gathering

Time: 1pm - 3pm
Area: Karangahape Road
Tall Bike Gathering
Date: October 30th, 2022
Time: 1pm - 3pm
Area: Karangahape Road
Tall bikes are simply bikes welded on top of other bikes to make them tall. These are called “tall bikes”. Metaphorically speaking, you sit on these at least a floor higher than the usual riding position.
Tall bikes belong to the family of freak or art bikes. These are wheels that redefine the ride feeling and push the boundaries of what is possible. They are born in creative minds and on old bicycles. They stand out by their individuality and are exclusively home-built.
People ride tall bikes because they can, and also because the feeling is better – not to mention the view. Perversely, tall bikes are probably the safest velocipedal machine there is, as no driver wants to come within 30 feet of you.
Meet up outside Electric Bike Team (Bottom of East St, Top of Te Ara I Whiti / The Lightpath) and then it’s an easy ride down to the waterfront from there. Possibly a social beer afterwards.
Even if you don’t have a tall bike you can come along anyway!
But please bring your own bike for the ride down the pink path.
