Cycle Action Whakatane/BikeWise
Presented by: Richard Hamer (Cycle Action Whakatane)
Inspired by attending a workshop earlier this year, with presentations from Model Communities (Paul McArdle & New Plymouth District Council). As a result, started two projects:
- Bikes in Schools- like swimming, bikes for use in school; including maintenance schedule
- bike park
BikeWise- two locals in Whakatane got the contract to look after the national BikeWise website.
Two main events:
- Big Bike Fix Up
- Leading Light campaign
