See biketober.nz for information and check the variety of activities offered in 2018. Biketober is for anyone who wishes to ride, fix, learn about, create, or even race a bike for any reason. There were almost 100 different activities to choose from in 2018, 95% of them free. If you have any ideas that you think would make a good biking activity for this year, or wish to help out with the planning, contact our team at biketober@gmail.com. If your social group, school, biking club, or just a group of friends wishes to participate with a specific Biketober Event, give us a shout.
