This past weekend, Richard Hamer from our trust attended CANDo in Auckland, to represent the trust, gain a better understanding of the awesome work of Bike Auckland and other cycling advocacy groups around Aotearoa and to share ideas and opprtunities for the future.

CANDo is an annual event run by Cycling Action Network for Advocates, organisers, planners, and passionate riders.

Richard took the opportunity to share the work of our trust, formerly (Cycle Action Whakatane) alongside the Whakatane District Council and other partners that has led to both improved and increased cycling infrastructure, facilities, programmes and annual events over a 15+ year period.

On the ground in the Whakatane District this has resulted in 12 Bikes In Schools projects, the Council's - Active Whakatane District Wide Transport and Recreation Strategy 2020, Warren Cole Shared Pathway, improved cycling access through Burma Road, and support for the Onepu Mtb Park etc.
