September Community Support
Thursday, October 14th, 2010
We have been busy supporting many different events over the past month.
We sponsored the Junior Tour de Tairei Road Cycling Event along with Cycling Otago on 18th /19th September and this was well attended.
Despite the stormy weather it was a successful event.
We also have been actively involved in helping with repairing bikes for free on Sunday 10th October as part of the International Day of action organised by environmental campaign group 350.org at North Dunedin Intermediate School. This was organised by Alex King from the group TransitionValley 473.Many happy bike riders were happy to have their bikes fixed.
Here is Jarna repairing a bike for free.
Down Hill Shuttles at Signal Hill Every Sunday
Monday, May 10th, 2010Every Sunday, Magnum from Bike Otago helps Downhill riders to get up to the top of Signal Hill so they can ride their bikes down. Riders leave from Logan Park School Carpark at 9.30am. Last Sunday we hired a bus from Handy Rentals and we had 30 riders turn up. They all had a great time.

Super Deeeeeelicious Dunedin – Round 2 results
Monday, May 10th, 2010Good golly, this Super D thing is much fun what!
I dunno if Ben knows something we don’t or that Gary Fisher of his has some freakish time-travelling ability but he’s getting down there pretty nippy-like. Tristan showed that you don’t need gears to go fast and Magnum showed how to cook a mean sausage. Thanks Greg.
RESULTS!
