As part of a series of events organised for Biketober, we decided that starting a Christchurch biking community around bike-packing would be a promising idea; most of us should be content staying in NZ knowing we could discover our backyards in new and adventurous ways. Bike-packing is just that, it allows us to discover the backcountry roads and trails while appreciating the simple (if rugged) enjoyment of staying in the great outdoors.
Christchurch is your city too! Its public spaces and its cycle facilities are yours to use. Places that you just won’t stop by with your car but would very much enjoy biking to. Make friends with active locals who care very much for this city and spend a relaxing morning connecting with people.
On the 7th of June, Action Bicycle Club, Sailor’s Son coffee and RDU have teamed up to bring you a Go By Bike Breakfast. As your heading in to work, pop down to the corner of Madras, St Asaph and High Streets and grab yourself a free muffin and a coffee.
Every Saturday for the month of November from 9am to 1pm. Join Catarina Gutierrez & The Sailor’s Son for slow, hand poured coffee at the Action Bicycle Club.
Ask most women (and most likely quite a few men too) about how to go about maintaining their bike and they probably won’t have much of a clue. For a long time, I was part of that ‘in the dark group’ too.
