There will be good food, great coffee, free bike checks, music and spot prizes.
We’re celebrating biking in the Hutt, especially the fact that the number of people making their daily trips around our city and suburbs by bike is growing steadily.
Local bike retailers will be here, so it’s an opportunity to talk bikes with local experts. If you’re thinking of getting an e-bike or converting your regular bike to an e-bike, you can find out more.

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.
The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.
They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.
What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

THEN at the corner shop...they HAD NOT yet invented supermarkets -the grocer, would hand mum her loaf of bread NO Wrapping and she would put that in her basket but usually with a cloth serviette wrapped round it...occasionally I was 'allowed' to go buy the bread and eat some of the middle out before I got home.
Things like jelly was purchased in a triangle box, a flavour bud inside.
Biscuits were in a huge lidded tin at the front of lower ledge counter, and he put the moneys worth in a brown paper bag.
Fish n Chips were tipped from the hot fat, to a slice of grease proof paper which was laying on a couple of sheets of NEWSPAPER...one shilling for 2 fish and scoop chips.....tear the corner of the wrapped meal...O M G.
Milk was delivered to the door in glass bottles recyclable.
Fizzy drinks also came in recyclable bottles and we made pocket money taking back a dozen or so at the time.
Fish man and the baker drove vans up and down the street, and you rushed out on YOUR delivery day with a plate or basket and selected.
Fruit and veges actually grew in the back yard, and dad would bring in the spuds and silverbeet, carrots etc about 40 minutes before dinner.
THE GOOD OLD days when we actually spoke to the neighbours and played outside until hunger took hold.
AND guess what we survived.
