Winter Solstice Bike Ride
Annual event to commemorate the longest night, always held on the 21st of June.
The purpose is to brightly support safe cycling in Christchurch: for commuters, kids riding to school and for all recreational cyclists. And to be cool - very cool.
This event has been held annually since 2012.
Meet inside Hagley Park at the Armagh Street entrance - the Mickle Gates - from 5pm for a 5.30pm roll-out. We then follow each other single file on our bicycles around the shared paths of North Hagley park.
This is a family-friendly event but organisers urge that you ride with your children as it is pretty dark after 5.30pm.
