Community Cycling Pathways

“Every school and tamariki has a different biking environment to consider from a safety perspective, so it’s very exciting to work with each group and build the confidence around safety for each child in their school environment to create a lifelong love of cycling"

Our iBike Partners 

Following the successful launch of the Selwyn Sports Trusts’ iBike programme in March last year, two community focused sponsors have jumped onboard and become dual naming rights partners of the programme for 2024.

Local Real Estate company Najib Real Estate and Southbridge-based vegetable producer, Oakley’s, have combined to support the continued delivery and growth of the programme.
