Get out and Explore Auckland: Bike Ride City Loop
March 26, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Have you #gottogetout and explore Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland?
Thanks to Auckland Transport, Got To Get Out is hosting a series of free outdoor events to encourage our community to try walking & cycling for getting to work / school / leisure.
We’re also profiling new cycleways and commuter routes, and showcasing public transport options like bus and trains as a great way to get to your adventures.
About your free guided activity:
This easy grade (with some hills!) bike ride is through the city cycle-ways and shared paths.
We will start under the Harbour Bridge, ride through the Viaduct, through the city, up to Upper Queen St, along Karangahape Rd, and back down the ‘Pink Path’ then Nelson st to the start line.
Expect great korero / chats with other outdoor lovers, a chance to make new friends, and get some fitness!
Bikes are available for rent, if needed.
To get there:
Use the AT Journey Planner (https://at.govt.nz/bus-train-ferry/journey-planner/) or AT Mobile app to plan your journey, to AJ Hackett Bungee, under the Harbour Bridge.
Parking is also available.
Please bring:
Your own bike (expect a quick bike safety check over from your trip host)
Comfortable enclosed footwear
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, skin protection)
Raincoat / something warm in a backpack
Any personal medication (like asthma inhaler etc)
Food for you – although for this ride, we will likely stop into a cafe in Westhaven afterwards
All ages welcome (under 16 need to be ‘signed in’ by a parent or guardian) though please note the group moves at a ‘commuter’ speed, so this is not suited to beginner riders or children learning to ride.
Public transport:
If you don’t already use public transport, and want to try it out, then after the trip we will provide you with a free HOP card loaded with a whole day’s worth of travel, to encourage you to try public transport!.
You can learn more about cycling or walking to work at https://at.govt.nz/cycling-walking/
Health and safety:
You will be expected to ‘sign in’ at www.gottogetout.com/check-in before joining the ride, and we will scan vaccine passports.
Helmets needed for all riders, correctly fitted (useful information here https://at.govt.nz/cycling-walking/advice-support/bike-helmets/)
Spaces limited to 15 per ride, just two sessions, so book your spot now!
