Biketober Christchurch 2018 is nearly here!

Glen Koorey from Cycling in Christchurch

It's now less than two weeks before Biketober returns to Christchurch, with a month-long festival of rides, community/social events, maintenance workshops, a bike expo weekend, and much more. Last year more than 60 events crammed the calendar and 2018 promises to be just as tantalising!


Check out the Biketober website (www.biketober.nz...) for the full programme of activities. This includes the "Pedal into Spring" extravaganza of 12 central city rides to choose from on Oct 6th, and the return of the NZ Bike Expo on Oct 13-14th. Pick up a Biketober Passport and bike to 40 different retail destinations for discounts, special deals and the chance to win great prizes at the end of the month.


Whether you're a regular commuter, hard-core MTBer/roadie, recreational rider with the family, or maybe just thinking about getting into biking, Biketober has something for everyone! So check out the programme and mark a few things on your calendar...

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
