Rodney District is cycle-mad having won this year’s Mayoral Cycle Challenge ahead of 39 other cities and districts. Held in the rain on 2 March, 1500 Rodney residents including Mayor Penny Webster, MP Lockwood Smith, staff from the emergency services, RDC staff, local celebrities and sports stars got on their bikes to take the title of New Zealand ’s most cycle-mad city ahead of Hutt Valley and Wellington City Councils.
Rodney District Council’s travel planner, Belinda Matheson , says the support of the community and sponsors made the event the success it was.
“It was due to the tireless support of our staff and other volunteers on the day and our numerous sponsors that the event surpassed our expectations,” says Belinda. “This year’s focus was on children and family, and despite the weather the cycle challenge gave Rodney families the opportunity to experience something new and exciting.”
Well done to everyone who braved the weather!
