Join friends with bikes and lights: Christchurch Winter Solstice Matariki Night Light Bike Ride 2021
ccc.govt.nz...
21 June, 5:30pm - 6:15PM, Mickle Gates, North Hagley Park
Cycle Hagley Park on the longest night of the year with bright lights!
The theme this year is to support all new cyclists & families who are riding our new cycleways
Join us on our 10th annual Christchurch NZ Solstice Night Light bike ride!
The purpose is to brightly support safe & healthy and fun cycling for commuters, kids riding to school and for all recreational cyclists.
Meet inside the Park at the Armagh Street Mickle Gates from 5pm for a 5.30pm start.
This is a family-friendly event but organisers urge that you ride with your children as it is pretty dark after 5.30pm. And you must bring at least one bikelight - it gets dark on this ride!
Bling out your bike, helmet and person with as many lights as you can. Prizes for various categories including the brightest bike, of course!
Our bike light ride starts at the Hagley Park Mickle gates ( where Armagh st meets Park Terrace) and we ride counter clockwise around the park on the footpath or road - your choice. Afterwards we will adjourn to the Pegasus Arms on Oxford Terrace and other local eateries for a beer or hot chocolate and discuss how to help make Christchurch a world class safe cycling city!
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
