Come and Ride Together! Wellington Para Cycling Activation
Saturday 12 September | Haitaitai Velodrome

Kia ora Wellington!

Cycling New Zealand is coming to the capital as part of our "Ride Together" initiative and we'd love to see you there!

We're hosting a free afternoon of Para cycling at the Haitaitai Velodrome, with something for everyone - whether you're curious about how to support Para cyclists in your community, or you've always wondered what it might feel like to get on a trike, tandem, handcycle or to learn about the adaptations that can be made to single bikes, or just to have a look see what it’s all about!

1:00pm - Community Education Session
For club members, coaches, volunteers and anyone interested in supporting Para cycling in Wellington

Come and learn about the world of Para cycling in a hands on way - what adaptive bikes look like and how they work (and you can have a go!) and how your club or organisation can play a role in welcoming and supporting disabled cyclists. Cycling New Zealand will be on hand to answer questions and share what's possible here in the Wellington region.

2:00pm onwards - Have a Go Session
For disabled people and their whānau, supported by club members, coaches, volunteers and anyone interested in supporting - come along and give it a go!

This is your chance to get on a handcycle, trike, tandem or adapted bike in a safe, supportive and fun environment - no experience necessary. But maybe even more importantly, it's a chance for you to meet the coaches, club members and community connections who can help you find your place in cycling going forward. This session will run for 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on numbers and energy!

Whether you're ready to ride or just want to come and see what it's all about and have a chat, you are very welcome.

Both sessions are free. All are welcome.
