Aotearoa Bike Challenge is back for 2026!

Solo or with your mates? Join us and get ready to ride and win. 

The Aotearoa Bike Challenge is a free, inclusive challenge designed to get more people riding – for fun, fitness, transport, community connection, and sustainability.   

Hop on your bike, join a community, learn new bike skills, and win prizes! 

Annually, the Bike Challenge takes place between 1st February and 28th February, so there's plenty of time to get involved and enjoy the benefits of cycling.

Kāpiti district’s network of cycle trails makes cycling easy, safe, and enjoyable for all ages and abilities. Enjoy a recreational ride in the evenings or weekends or take the scenic route to mahi. Participating in the Aotearoa Bike Challenge is accessible to everyone, from bike beginners to seasoned cyclists.

Cycling is great for physical and mental wellbeing, and there are proven benefits for your wallet, workplace productivity, and the environment. Even for short journeys!

Sign up and earn points for any ride of 10 minutes or longer and earn points when you encourage other people to ride. Plus, when you sign up, you’ll go into the draw to win a range of great prizes.
