The idea behind it all is to claim back the street and to reinstate the commuting cyclist as an integral part of the traffic scene.

The ride has been planned to be part of the national Bike Wise week.

The gist:

- We meet at the Energy Center at around 06:45

- Ride departs from the Energy Center at 07:00

- The route is secret. It will be a 'follow the leader' type scenario around town. It's all about 'Claiming the Street' on a friendly level of course.

- Ride ends at the City focus for a 'free healthy breakfast' which in turn is organized by sport Bay of Plenty to celebrate 'Go By Bike Day'
