  1. Akl ladies BIKOI follow-up Sat Nov 21st

    Went along to the gathering at Auckland Museum and joined the 15 or so riders for the ladies run. A great day for it and with Akl traffic even more congested than a weekday (this is normal!!), it was a great opportunity for the public to see the visual display of lady riders on all manner of bikes ....even the Fire truck gave us a toot and a wave as they speed past to a job Good to meet some new faces and reacquaint with others.

  3. Nelson protest ride

    Great turnout today in nelson, over 500 bikes, TVNZ coverage and plenty of reporters etc.
