Pedal Power



Getting out on your bike is the smart choice. Whether it’s a ride to school, to work or along one of the many pathways, riding is a great way to explore your own back yard.


A good incentive to get on your bike is here with the national BikeWise programme which starts on Wednesday. Sign up at http://www.bikewise.co.nz/


It is a great way to create a bit of competition in your workplace, especially seeing who can cycle the most kms. I am challenging myself to do 50kms a week, an increase of 30kms from last year. I will keep you posted on my progress. The bikewise website will also have the details of the local events being held here in Hastings over the month.


A FREE Big Bike Fix-Up is to be held at the Clock Tower in Hastings CBD on Sunday February 5th, from 10am to 11:30am. Mechanics from local bike shops will be on hand to give bikes the once-over and make sure they are road worthy.

Best of all it’s good for our environment, good for you and good for your pocket.
Happy Cycling
