Frocks on Bikes

Frocks on Bikes on Buses - The New Zealand Transport Agency is considering a change to allow bike racks on buses. Bikes on buses are good for Frockers because:
You can avoid a steep hill, a long stretch of road or a dangerous section of traffic
You have the option of avoiding the rain during one of those changeable weather days
You can avoid having to ride home in the dark
If you are just starting out and fitness levels are low, you can bus part of the way and ride the rest
Its easy to make a submission if you think this is a good idea - just email info@nzta.govt.nz with the following message:

I support section 7.1 (3) of the Draft Land Transport Rule: Omnibus Amendment 2009 Rule 10005 to allow bike racks on the front of buses.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Wellington Frockers -we made a delightful showing at the 350.org Great Harbour Way ride and danced up a storm at the festival HQ.

There'll be more events happening through spring and into summer - including a shopping excursion, a cool skills workshop with CAW, and - back by popular demand - another Wairarapa picnic - it'll be a Frock-nic - with CAW! Huzzah!

keep an eye on the site and the Facebook group, and come join us on more lunchtime rides.

mwah-mwahs!

JUST IN CASE YOU HADN'T HEARD:

On Saturday October 24th (Labour weekend), in support of the worldwide climate change day of action, we are calling all Auckland Frocks to help us create a glorious Frocktastic vision of cycling loveliness on the 350 Big Bike Ride.

This ride will unite cyclists of every persuasion in an epic fun ride to promote safe and sustainable transport for all, and to show our support for transforming the car-centric streets of Auckland into sustainable and people-friendly spaces. We will start in Britomart Square at 1.30pm and then follow an easy, safe (with marshalls) and scenic 12km ride to Mt. Eden’s Takahi Reserve arriving by 3.30pm.

“Frocks on Bikes, fixies, mountain bikers, school teams, BMXers, lycra wearers, cycling and touring clubs, Critical Mass, high performance, trash bikers - what ever your bike preference join us for the biggest mass bike ride Auckland has ever seen.”

Break out your brightest frock, pop on some lippy, and be part of this Frockilicious frenzie of cyclicious goodness - see you at Britomart!

Who are you calling slow? I'm in.
Style, not speed

Righto. Who's up for the challenge of slow bike race in Wellington at the 350 Festival this Saturday? This website has some more inspirations. No organising needed. If you see me on my bike before / after the Great Harbour ride along the waterfront you are welcome to challenge me on the spot ;)

Calling Frockers! We have two imminent and rather fun requests. First, come and join us this Friday for a Fabulous Friday Frocktober lunch time ride (psst - there might be a well known news paper photographer there so dress up in your best!). We will meet outside Kaffe Eis by Frank Kitts lagoon at 12.30pm. Second, if you have a little time to drop by some cafes and bikes shops between now and early next week to deliver some flyers about the Frocks on Bikes ride on 24 October we would love to hear from you: frocksonbikes@gmail.com.
