Jump(er) on a Bike
Leave your car brain at home and Jump(er) on a Bike to help us celebrate cycling, knitting, and the newly completed joined-up, continuous cycleway now open on Te Hā Noa – Victoria Street.
The New Zealand Fashion Museum, Bike Auckland and Auckland Council invite you to don your warmest, oldest, boldest, holiest, most fabulous jumper (or cardigan) and jump on your bike for a jumper-themed bike parade down Te Hā Noa.
- 5.30pm – Arrive on your bike via Te Hā Noa – Victoria Street West bike path.
- Assemble at the bike racks by Te Waihorotiu Station on the corner of Victoria Street West and Federal Street for registration.
- 6pm – Parade/ride down Te Hā Noa past the judges at Elliott Street and regroup at the seating area between Elliott and Queen Street for final judging
- 7pm – Park up at the free Bike Auckland Valet Parking in Darby Street and stay on for a hot drink and prizegiving in The Strand Arcade.
The best-dressed riders will win prizes, so get creative and ride with pride!
The parade kicks off at 6pm – don’t miss it! All ages welcome.
Stay and enjoy the Midtown Street Party in The Strand Arcade and visit the KNIT exhibition, join a workshop and peruse the Makers Market. Enjoy the music and something to eat in the Strand Arcade, Elliott Stables or from one of the many food options in Midtown.
The two-way cycleway is physically separated from traffic, offering a protected route that’s safer and more accessible for riders of all levels coming from across the East or West. Or, bring your bike by train from the South, or over the bridge on the bus from the North.
Rain or shine – see you there.
Proudly supported by Auckland Council and the city centre targeted rate.
