Pedal Ready is doing a guided bike tour along Te Ara Tupua in October and November – sign up here: https://www.wildfinder.co.nz/special-events
Their next tours are currently scheduled for 3 October and 28 November. These dates could change – we won't be updating this post, so check that page or with Pedal Ready for more information.
This is a great way to explore the path alongside State Highway 2 from Ngauranga to Petone and build your cycling confidence if aren’t cycling regularly.
The tour is led by experienced cycling instructors through the Greater Wellington Regional Council’s Pedal Ready Programme. It’s open to adults aged 18 and over, or young riders aged 13 and over when accompanied by an adult. Families are welcome too with younger children able to join on cargo bikes or in bike seats.
It’s $20 for the tour which includes e-bike hire – your registration fee will be refunded if you bring your own bike on the day.
Places are limited, so secure your spot today if you’re keen.
With springtime arriving and the weather improving, more of you will be out on Te Ara Tupua. Keep left on your side of the path (either the cycling side or the pedestrian side), look out for people around you who want to get by you – especially if you’re in a group – and travel carefully if you’re on an e-scooter or bike.
Te Ara Tupua is, of course, the path we opened earlier this year linking Wellington and Lower Hutt alongside SH2. Along with being a safe, accessible route for walking and cycling, it's also a seawall that's massively improved the resilience of SH2 and the rail line by protecting both from the sea.
