Cool jobs in cycling don't come along every day... check this one out!

🚲 We're hiring! (Kind of...)

The team are looking for a community-savvy social media person to help us share cycling stories, promote local events, and keep our online presence rolling - all for around 5 hours a week.

If you love Cambridge, love cycling (or active transport!), and know your way around Instagram and Facebook without breaking a sweat - we'd love to hear from you.

Flexible. Casual. Fun. And yes, coffee stop discussions are basically part of the job.

The Tour of Aotearoa is rolling along Te Awa!

One of the world’s great bikepacking adventures is heading along Te Awa! Tour Aotearoa stretches an incredible 3,000 km from Cape Reinga in the far north all the way to Bluff at the bottom of the South Island - following cycle trails and country roads down the length of New Zealand.

They head through Cambridge and along the Karapiro section of Te Awa before heading south to Waikato River Trails - by the time they hit Te Awa, they’ve already done 700+km … and have another 2,300 to go…

So, if you see people on bikes (there’s over 300 of them 😊) laden up with gear out on the trail, give them a wave!

You can check out where everyone currently is across NZ here -
