For the third time running, Frocks on Bikes are hosting the Love to Roll Valentines Day ride on Sunday February 12, where people and their loved ones (be it partners, friends, or their bicycle!) head around the bays from Oriental Parade to the Island Bay festival. Riders will be meeting at 12:30pm and arriving at the festival for prize-giving at 3:45.
The Seigel-Boettner brothers tell a wonderful story on how bicycles
are improving the lives of people all over the world. Beautifully shot
on location in Zambia, Ghana, India, Guatemala and California, this social
justice film does not leave you with the often "what to do next"
feeling - you'll know what to do when the film ends.
VENUE : Arthouse Cinema. Cost: $10 by bike $15 if not.
Bike jumping, bike racing, bike blinging and bike prizes. The bike party in
the Huatoki Plaza kicks off with the Taranaki bunny-hop champs before
shifting it up a gear for short circuit bike racing on a hard and fast
course through the plaza! There are great prizes for competitors and
onlookers alike and for those who like their ride on the wild side there
will be spot prizes for the best blinged up bikes too.
Starting places for the racing are limited so pre-register at any New Plymouth
bike shop.
Ride on down to the Ozone bean store for a global coffee tasting
tour. Between cups check out frockaliscious fashion garments and
bike beauty accessories, Mitchell Cycles will also be here with a chic
selection of ladies bikes too. With the caffeine in your seams why not
stretch your legs with a spin along the foreshore to finish?
VENUE : Ozone Coffee Roasters, King Street. Cost: Free.
