ReBicycle

ReBicycle is a community organisation that "up-cycles" donated second-hand bikes into safe, practical commuter bikes to gift or loan to people who need them, starting with newly settled refugees in the Wellington region.

If you have a bike you want to donate to a worthy recipient you can drop it off here.

Lights! Lights! Lights!

Along with NZ Police, we'll be out and about at the start of winter ensuring all people on bikes are visible to other road users.

There has been one major change to legislation since last winter - your lights now need to be visible from 200 metres.
