Fitness Buddies (E) Bike & Brunch
Apologies to the Taradale members who may have seen my reply to Charlie's posting... But for those that haven't heard - Fitness Buddies Hawke's Bay is holding their first ever event, this Friday, 24th February. The event is a Bike & Brunch and for anyone who is keen in finding our more about E-biking (pedal-assisted bikes), or is looking for a group or E-bikers to go cycling with, or just wants to find out more about cycling in Hawke's Bay. We are holding it in conjunction with Taradale Avanti and Fishbike rentals and have Lyndal Johansson from Sport HB coming along to talk. There will be an opportunity for those new to E-biking to try out some E-bikes and go on an accompanied bike ride. It is being held in the Surf Lifesaving Club room (behind Ocean Spa) from 10am to 12pm. The cost if $10 for those who bring their own bikes and $15 for those who need to rent one. To find out more, visit fitnessbuddies.co.nz... or contact me through Neighbourly.
Hope to see you there!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
