Here she is with her dad, James, who we recently met at a bike fix-up session with his students at Pakuranga Intermediate.

Great to see the whānau back at the hub — enjoy the new ride, Jamie!

First evening of daylight savings, 27 Sep 🕑

The clocks go forward tonight. That means brighter evenings for the ride home from tomorrow — though mornings stay a little darker for a week or so while your body catches up.

However you're riding this week, make sure your lights still work. 🔆

School holidays are here — why not spend them exploring a new way to get around as a family?

Meet Michael van Staveren and his family, who recently trialled one of our Yuba cargo bikes through Go Ebike Loans and by the end of the two weeks, were completely hooked!

Michael got in touch to say a huge thank you for the opportunity to trial the Yuba again, sharing that the experience gave his family a real taste of the cargo bike lifestyle and what these bikes are truly capable of as part of their day-to-day routine.

In Michael's words: "It really is wonderful to have a scheme like this that allows families to trial an ebike properly and see how it fits in with their daily lives before making a purchase."

With the school holidays here (26 September – 11 October), it's the perfect time to borrow a cargo e-bike and see what family adventures you can get up to — whether that's the park, the beach, or just a fun new way to get around town.

Our Go Ebike Loans scheme offers a free two-week trial, so there's no pressure and no cost — just an easy way to try before you buy. Get in touch to book yours in for the holidays!

Meet Rebecca, who's been looking after a bike she purchased from us two years ago! She recently gave it a fresh coat of paint, and today our team replaced some worn-out bearings and greased the crankset to keep it running smoothly.

Rebecca said: "Every time I come here, I leave with my bike feeling better."

Love seeing our bikes still going strong years later — great work, Rebecca! 🚲

So proud of this epic mahi from Stefe and Sarah from Edgewater College, who spent six weeks refurbishing a set of bikes for their school.

The girls were among our first After School Bike Club participants — a free, drop-in, two-hour supervised bike workshop for young people every Thursday during term time at Pakuranga Bike Hub, starting at 3.30pm.

A huge thanks to our coordinator, Kelvin Aris, for encouraging the girls to get involved and sharing his skills and mentorship along the way.

This mahi wouldn't have been possible without the support of Howick Local Board, Auckland Transport, Enviroschools, AWHI Enviro Club, and Edwater College's Science teacher Gloria Hinestroza — thank you all for helping make this happen!

Come along and learn how to maintain your own bike, or help refurbish donated bikes — all tools and training provided.

The CRL had its first weekday morning rush this week — and naturally, someone had to test whether biking could keep up! 🚲🚄

😄"I have to admit I did want to win this on behalf of the biking community so I got my race face on," says one determined rider, who kicked things off with an easy 13km ride to the start near Glen Eden — "the third best Glen in Auckland, and probably the best Eden."

We love seeing our biking community repping the cause, race face and all! Read the full story here 👇

Auckland is experiencing the first morning rush hour following the grand opening of the City Rail Link.

It's Second Hand September!

We were featured in Our Auckland this month — celebrating a simple idea with a big impact.

Whether it's fixing a loose hinge, sharpening garden tools, or servicing your bike, basic maintenance helps extend the life of the things we already own — saving money and keeping useful items out of landfill for longer.

That's exactly what we're here for.

Our Bike Hubs are part of Auckland Transport's wider network of bike hubs across Auckland, offering free tool access, maintenance advice, and second-hand bikes and parts — helping our communities learn the skills to service and repair their own rides, for free.

Come on down to the hub and find what could be your next two-wheeled adventure, or bring in your current ride for some TLC.
