Kia ora e te whānau!

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori — Māori Language Week — starts today and runs through to 20 September, with this year's theme Ake, Ake, Ake: A Forever Language.

Swipe through for a few words to take with you next time you're at the hub ☺️

Wīra (wheels), mekameka (chain), pōtae mārō (helmet), hānara (handlebar) — and the word for the whole thing: paihikara, bicycle.

Try at least one of them out loud this week.

Eke tātou, let's ride!

Picture this: no carpark scrum, no idling in the pick-up line, kids strapped in and grinning the whole way.

Our Go Ebike Loans programme includes three cargo/family models: Tern Quick Haul, eZee Expedir, Yuba Supercargo.

Free to borrow for two weeks, no strings attached (except a $250 refundable security deposit).

With the spring school holidays two weeks away, now's a good time to try one before the break.

It's always great to see where our bikes end up.

Marco kindly sent us this photo of himself taking part in the People's Triathlon at Mission Bay, riding a vintage Marin road bike that was restored right here at the Hub.

Seeing a bike we've brought back to life doing exactly what it was built for is what it's all about. Thanks for sharing, Marco, and congratulations on completing the triathlon! 🚲
