*****
Be at Bike Hub Grey Lynn (the northern end of Grey Lynn Park) from 7pm to decorate your bike, have a go on the pump track, and collect some sparkly freebies such as bike lights and retro-reflective backpack covers.
Our beginner-friendly group ride will set off at 7.30pm. We'll be sparkling through the greenways, cruising briefly along quiet streets, enjoying Meola Road cycleway, and grooving around the Western Springs Lake to arrive at MOTAT by 8.15pm.
There is secure Bike Valet parking provided at MOTAT for this event, so you can enjoy the lights worry-free.

About the ride:
This is an ideal ride for kids, beginner riders, and riders who want to build their confidence in a fun, social setting. It is reasonably short, mostly flat, and almost completely on shared paths, and protected cycleways. It will be at a casual, easy pace and is a 'no drop' ride, meaning we will have stops along the way to re-group.

What's a Bike hub? Bike Hubs are community spaces that help you get on your bike. They offer advice, free use of bike repair tools, second-hand bikes for sale, parts, and sometimes even e-bike loans. They'll help you develop your skills and knowledge so you can enjoy the benefits of cycling. Bike Hub Grey Lynn is open from Thurs - Sun, 10am - 2pm.
