Ready Set Ride! Runner bike event.

Ready Set Ride! Runner bike event.

Runner bikes, balance bikes, striders – whatever you call them, they’re a great way for kids to gain balance and agility and get ready for a pedal bike. Plus they’re so much fun.

You may have seen the intense strider races in Japan or the more sedate race pace in Birmingham – rest assured this will be nothing like those!

We’ll have an indoor circuit with some ramps and cones to challenge the kids. They can do as many laps as they want at whatever speed they like. If there are any keen for a proper race we’ll do our best to put one together towards the end of the session. But other than that, this is just a chance to have a fun time on a neat course. There will be a few spare bikes and plenty of spare helmets, but bring your own if you  don’t want to miss out. Spot prizes for a few lucky ones and certificates for all participants.

  • Children must be supervised.
  • Helmets must be worn and preferably footwear with covered toes
  • No pedal bikes on the course. Scooters may be allowed during ‘practice sessions’

Neighbours Day Strathmore Park – Bike KREW Rodeo 2018

Neighbours Day Strathmore Park – Bike KREW Rodeo 2018

The Bike KREW Rodeo is back at Kahurangi School for Neighbours Day in association with ReBicycle Wellington and supported by the Wellington City Council Communities on Bikes Fund, Nikau Foundation, The Tindall Foundation and Thankyou Charitable Trust.

Saturday 24th March, 1-3pm at Kahurangi School, Strathmore Ave, Strathmore Park.

We are creating a temporary bike playground for children in the park. This will include mobile obstacles such as a seesaw, balance boards, slalom, and a range of textures. The aim is for kids to have fun while building skills and gaining confidence: children learn by playing.

Bikes and equipment for children from ages 2-10ish will be provided, plus trained volunteer instructors. All kids with all levels of ability or difficulty can take part.

Bring your own bike and helmet, or loan one from ReBicycle.

For Neighbours Day, Strathmore Park Community Centre are holding a BBQ from 11am-1pm, then ReBicycle will be bringing back the Bike KREW Rodeo to Kahurangi School from 1-3pm. After 3pm you can head on up to Raukawa Centre for a picnic until 5ish.

No rain day planned, but we’ll cancel by about 10am on Saturday if it’s too wet or windy. Check Facebook for updates.

Bike KREW School Days

Bike KREW School Days

ReBicycle took the Bike KREW Rodeo on tour to a couple of local schools to use on their Wheels Days. Lots of fun was had at Owhiro Bay and St Ants.

Contact us if your school is interested in borrowing our Bike Rodeo or the kids bike library. The Bike Library now includes 4 brand new 24″ MTB style kids bikes (suitable for ages 9-12) and spare helmets. We ask for a small koha to cover transport costs and repairs.
