Just got an email from the Wellington City Council regarding their Cycle into Summer program and it just keeps getting better and better! Its great to see the Council actively promoting cycling and the best part about this program is that its FREE!! I biked the bays earlier this year with Ingo from work and would highly recommend it! Its a great way to get fit, heaps of people are doing it so why don't you join me!
I was sent this link via my girlfriend Kelle and I think this is something that hasn't really been promoted that much so I thought I would do my bit and write about it! e-Petitions which are run on http://www.wellington.govt.nz, allow people to petition the Wellington City Council, via the internet, on matters relevant to the Council's business. At the moment there are a few good ones for example: Keeping the Dual Slalom Mountain Bike Track at 1 Mt Albert Rd, running the Bike Free programme in Wellington and adding more drinking fountains in the city. These are great ideas and fully worth supporting so I hope this article inspires you to stand up and make your vote count! Go to http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/current_eps and start voting!!!!
and I didn't have to pay a thing!! ...bonus My day started with getting up reasonably early to join 1,800+ others to Bike the Bays.
I just snapped my chain derailer on my Avanti black thunder biking up Salamanca Road in Wellington. Well its a good excuse to get a new bike really :-) I am looking for a decent cross country bike to tackle the might hills, especially up Makara Peak.
