Celebrate 10 years of the Lightpath 8am Ride

Join us to ride Te Ara I Whiti on its tenth anniversary.

Te Ara I Whiti, the Lightpath was a bold idea to repurpose a disused motorway off-ramp and  turn it into a path for people. Without the early spark and persuasive energy of Bike Auckland’s Max Robitzsch and Barb Cuthbert, it might still be an unrealised concept. Now this glowing pink ribbon with incredible views is a joyful, iconic part of our city, and a cornerstone of the growing network which connects more Aucklanders to where they want to go.

The path opened on 3rd December 2015, after being constructed in a remarkable 9 months from idea to opening.

Fast forward ten years, and we want to mark this milestone with all of you! Please join us for a celebratory event on the morning of Wednesday 3 December.

We are looking for keen riders to help us mark the occasion

If you plan on coming along on your bike to ride the path with us for a photo opportunity, please register your attendance as soon as possible. This allows us to send out any useful info close to the time.

Meet outside the Electric Bike Team shop by the Canada St end of the path at 8am. We’ll set off soon after. The more the merrier, so bring a friend and let’s make this big!

Those on foot, on scooters, in wheelchairs, etc. are all welcome.

We look forward to marking the moment with you.
