Keen to build your biking confidence? Join us for Welly On Wheels: Karori edition! π΄ββοΈThinking about biking more, but not quite confident on city streets? Join us and Pedal Ready for a free, social bike tour between Karori, the Botanical Gardens and the waterfront. Get to know the route and street changes, build cycling confidence and skills, and learn about interesting features such as murals and fix it stands along the way!
This ride starts and ends at Switched On Bikes on the waterfront near Waitangi Park. The route leads along the scenic waterfront, past the Botanical Gardens, with the "Gardens magic" in full swing, up to Karori and Karori Park, and into South Karori to the starting point of MΔkara Peak mountain bike trails. We will then retrace our tracks back to Karori Park and use the separated cycle lane to travel through Karori, and back down past the Botanical Gardens and on to the waterfront. The ride will finish at Switched-on-Bikes.
