PRIZES FOR BEST DRESSED & BEST BIKE
This is the Greasy Chain’s annual Retro Ride so we’re encouraging you to dress retro and if possible, ride a retro bike. However, everyone who wants to ride irrespective of bike or gear, is welcome.
Theme for the ride this year is “Back to the Future”. Please use your imagination and get involved.
Great spot prizes, music, and discounted coffee and drinks thanks to Palmy BID after the ride at Cyclista.
A registration fee of $5 is being donated to Arohanui Hospice, so it’s a good cause to support.
We’d like to see around 100 riders participate to showcase the joys of cycling, so please register and bring your friends.

Palmerston North people 👋
It seems like nearly every second day we are hearing about someone who has been scammed or messed around when they’re just trying to organise simple help. That's why I'm testing an idea for a local odd-jobs platform to help people get small household tasks done without the stress of trying to find someone reliable.
The goal is to build something that feels safe, local, and fair for everyone.
clear job descriptions
transparent pricing/bids
real profiles + ratings
We’ll start small with non-licensed jobs like:
🌿yard tidy-ups
🚮 rubbish removal
🚐 small moving help
🪣cleaning
🏠 minor repairs & maintenance (non-licensed)
The pilot won’t include electrical, gas, or certified plumbing.
With the cost of living right now, if you want to jump onboard as a customer or worker i’ve made an early access waitlist:

I’ve also got a fully anonymous survey up that takes less than two minutes. This will help me tailor the categories, pricing expectations and see what people want most:

If you’ve ever struggled to get a small job done because it’s “too small” for tradies, or if you’re someone who wants to earn extra money doing honest work - I’d really love your input.
👉You can also book on behalf of a family member who needs a bit of extra help.
Thanks heaps 🙌
