Do you identify as a womxn of colour?

Ever wanted to try cycling for fun? Already cycling, commuting and/or want to meet like minded people?

Come join Louise Tu'u, a Samoan recreational cyclist and director of We Should Practice, who knows how much fun it is to ride on a bike and wants to share her love and enthusiasm so that other ethnic women can ride push or e-bikes.

We have a line-up of amazing guest speakers, who we will reveal closer to the time. They are all womxn of colour and understand the unique opportunities and challenges that we face when cycling.

Note: We use the word womxn to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the spelling sequences m-a-n and m-e-n, and to be inclusive of trans women and nonbinary people.

Otahuhu Recreational Sports Society is just off the beautiful shared walking and cycle path of Station Road, so we encourage you to cycle on your bike. Enjoy this relaxed and organised gathering to meet and connect with other riders. Light refreshments will be available. There is limited car parking, as there is a busy tournament for the club at the same time.

If you don't cycle or don't know how, please come. We would love to meet, connect and motivate you to find out where you can develop bike skills in your community and access/hire/buy a bike.

If you don't have a bike and would like one, please grab a ticket be in the draw to win one secondhand and serviced push bike for FREE, which we will give away at our gathering.

Bonus: All participants for the draw must have a functioning bike helmet, lock and lights on the day in order to win. Otherwise, there will be a redraw. We want the winner to use their bike safely straight away!

NB: If you are not a womxn of colour and want to support in allyship, please consider donating a koha here:
