Every year for October, we all gear up for a big month of biking and gathering together. A community-led festival of stuff to do around bikes, celebrating the end of the cold season and the joy of the pedal-powered (and the like). Biketober!
We want to see as many groups as possible putting stuff on, so we’re doing whatever we can to help get you there. Whatever your community might be into, we want to help you make it happen!
Since we want as many folks as possible making stuff happen, here’s a list of ideas on what you could get started on organising in advance – ideally as part of a team within your burb, but not necessarily; you could run something solo if you just wanna make it happen!
Simple ideas
Coffee or drinks meetup – literally just meet somewhere independently all by bike
Group ride for its own sake – a classic!
Celebrate a new piece of infrastructure
Biketober giveaway from local business
Cargo bike picnic
Bike to market
Sunrise coffee ride
Bike-in movies (easy version: bike to the movies!)
Bike to an island with the ferry
Workplace or school challenge – which team can bike the most days?
Ideas to support bike life
Bike to vote – group cycle or meet at the vote box
Bike Auckland is the non-profit organisation working to improve things for people on bikes. We’re a people-powered movement for a better region. We speak up for you – and the more of us there are, the stronger our voice!
