Auckland Fancy Women Bike Ride

FANCY. FIERCE. FUN.

You are invited to join the Auckland Fancy Women Bike Ride on Sunday, September 18th!

Because women can change the world, and the bicycle can help. Women’s visibility in urban spaces is key to claiming the right to the city. Cycling is a powerful way for women to become visible in society and a completely new way to interact with the city.

Fancy Women Bike Ride is an event for women, organized by women to call for infrastructure and inspiration.

The more women who cycle, the more women will be encouraged to cycle.

Every year, the fancy women bike ride is held on World #CarFreeDay and this year more than 200 cities will be participating in this event.

We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the #fwbr movement. It will be the first one in Tāmaki Makaurau.

The Route:
It is 5km and it's flat.

Please be at “The Cloud” at 2pm.

We will start the ride at 2.15pm on the dot. So please don’t be late.

We will ride through Viaduct, Silo Park, Westhaven and finish the ride at the cafe - Buoy for coffee/drinks. A map showing the route will be posted on the event’s page.
