Cargo Bike Get together
2024-05-26 13:30 - 16:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Victory Community Center, 2 Totara Street,Nelson,7010,New Zealand, Nelson, 7010, New Zealand
Calling all cargo bikers, and anybody curious about cargo bikes. Join us for a short social ride and BBQ Picnic.
From 1:30 pm gather at River Kitchen (81 Trafalgar St., Nelson)
2pm – Leisurely ride together along the Maitai and onto St. Vincent St.
2:30 or so, finishing at Victory Community Centre for BBQ picnic, and just in time for the ABC Bike Repair Workshop organised just after at the same place.
If you have a cargo bike (any bike you use to carry more than just yourself- long tail, bike trailers, kids seats, tag-alongs etc.) bring it along.
It’s a chance to get to know the other cargo bikers you’ve seen pedaling 1, 2 or 3 kids around Nelson by bike. If you haven’t got a cargo bike, come and see the variety of options and just how useful a cargo bike can be.
Share stories, get kid-hauling and cargo-hauling life-hacks, and get to know each other. It’s also a chance for your family-bike-curious friends to come and see what it’s all about. Share your favorite tips and tricks with those keen to know more, and enjoy a fun cruisey ride followed by a BBQ together.
Bring your family, a chair or two, or anything else you want to bring for the BBQ. We’ll have planet-friendly (vegan) food supplied by Nelson’s Vegetarian Butcher. Feel free to bring along a plate to share, something to throw on the BBQ, or something to drink.
This will be a relaxed, fun get-together to share tips and ideas. We’ll have cargo bikes available to try and perhaps some fun activities. Hopefully, we can show how easy it is to ditch the car.

WEBINAR - Streets for people or roads for cars? How streets and community wellbeing interact.
2024-05-27 12:00 - 13:00 | Online (Zoom)
Join Simon Kingham, Professor of Geography at the University of Canterbury and Chief Science Advisor to the Ministry of Transport, for this lunchtime webinar about how streets and community wellbeing interact.
Streets are usually seen as places for motor vehicles, but what happens if we rethink their role as places that can strengthen our communities and enhance wellbeing? What happens when we change their form and function through things, such as changing traffic volumes and speeds, restricting traffic, making walking and cycling more attractive, and introducing street furniture and places for social interaction? This presentation will examine some of these types of changes that have been seen in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
This event is co-hosted with the Nelson Sustainable Transport Trust: NELSUST. Register for the Zoom invite by following this link: REGISTRATION

Sustainable Farm Tour
2024-05-28 10:00 - 16:00 | Tākaka I-Site, Willow Street, Takaka, 7110
A tour of farms in Golden Bay that showcase some of the great initiatives that are happening to make farms more sustainable. See regenerative approaches in action including different ways to nurture soil health, mixed sward approaches, use of trees and riparian plantings, and mixed animal farming.
Farmers are the potential super-heros of climate change. Regenerative farming practices nurtures a healthy soil microbiome. This sequesters significantly more carbon, and reduces the amount of methane (another greenhouse gas) produced by cows. The potential impact of this is significant. There are many examples of good farm stewardship here in the Bay – we will be visiting 3 good examples that showcase a range of approaches.
Meet at the Takaka I site and join our bus tour. Commentary and Q&A will be provided throughout the tour by sustainable land management expert Sol Morgan. We will stop for lunch at the Sustainable Living Centre where an optional $15 organic lunch will be available for purchase.
Meet at the Takaka I site and join our bus tour. More information and registration (limited places) here. Note that the event is now sold out, but there is the possibility of registering on a waiting list. People on this list will be contacted directly in the event that capacity is increased.
