They came in their dozens, on cycles of all shapes and sizes – commuters, students, leisure riders, even babies in bike seats.
Our annual ‘Bikers’ Brekkies’ in Richmond and Motueka were a great success with riders enjoying fruit, muffins, muesli and a multitude of giveaways.
In Richmond, the team from My Ride Richmond were on hand to do free cycle checks and offer advice and encouragement to all cyclists with The Shot mobile coffee providing a free caffeine boost to those wanting it.
In Motueka, a group from Easiriders Motueka stopped by and were stoked the event was held in their town.
Our Road Safety Co-ordinator Jeni Thornborough says it was important that we take events like the Bikers’ Brekkie all across Tasman to check in with our cycling community around road safety.
She says Motueka was a trial, and the number of cyclists who stopped in at the breakfast on their morning commute shows that we need to do this as an annual event.
Susan, a keen cyclist, said “It’s wonderful that you are doing this, it brings people together, our group rides every week so we will definitely look out for this event next year”.
