Be Bright
Now that the days are getting shorter it is even more important for cyclists to be bright on their bikes and be visible to other road users.
Bike Wise and the NZ Police, are launching a new campaign to promote cyclists’ visibility on our roads.
Go By Bike Day
A one-day event in your region that encouraged people to switch from cars, buses and trains to biking to work for a day. At certain events, a free breakfast awaited cyclists at the end of their ride.
Go By Bike Day took place nationwide on Wednesday 1 February, 2012 and launched the 10th Anniversary of Bike Wise.

Big Bike Fix Up
The BBFU is new safety initiative designed to encourage new and past bike-riders to get their unused bikes out of storage and along to a BBFU event. Mechanics at the BBFU event will give the bike a quick maintenance check to make sure it is safe and road-worthy.
