This February, individuals and organisations across New Zealand will compete in Aotearoa Bike Challenge to see who can get the most people riding a bike. It doesn’t matter if you ride every day or haven’t been on a bike in years, you can ride anywhere anytime in February to take part. There are prizes to win for riding and encouraging your friends and colleagues to ride too!
