About
Bike Friendly North Shore promotes and celebrates bicycle culture on the North Shore of Auckland.
We’re not about racing (though we love that too), instead our focus is on using bikes for everyday transport like getting to work, visiting friends, shopping or just hanging out and exploring the neighbourhood. We want to encourage anyone and everyone to give it a go and provide information and inspiration on this blog to help that happen.
Some years ago I dusted-off my old mountainbike and started riding to work. I liked it. I REALLY, REALLY liked it. Pretty soon I was using my bike for all those small trips you do around town; taking the kids to school, going to the park, grocery shopping, and it was all more fun on a bike, often quicker too.
If you’re a like-minded soul and would like to contribute to the blog or get involved please contact Antoine at: ibikenz [at] gmail.com
The BFNS logo was inspired by the Bike Friendly folks in and around Dallas, Texas,
and used with their permission. Very friendly!
Welcome North Shore! We wish you the best of luck, and can’t wait to visit and see your successes!
Your friends at Bike Friendly Knox-Henderson (Dallas).
Great Work on this site, happy riding the NS.
Thanks guys. Bike-Culture (at least the type you are enjoying) is pretty thin on the ground down here, but I’m sure there are others out there on the North Shore with a similar outlook on cycling and the Bike Friendly concept just might bring them together.
Roselle is a local that contacted me to wish me well and I hadn’t told a soul about the blog, so that was an encouraging start.

Great idea and great looking blog. I’ll be sure to blog about it soon too…..
Thanks Paul, I’m slowly getting my head around WordPress. I need to find some locals to help me with the “bike friendly” concept if it’s going to grow. I’m not convinced there’s any “bike-culture” around here yet, but it’s early days!

Awesome site!! Wow. This is an important initiative for bike power on the Shore. Well done, bikers.
Thanks Bronwen, I struggle a bit with the writing side of things but am doing my best.
Feel free to write something about cycling in your your part of town (I’m assuming you’re on the shore) and I’ll throw it up there ;^)
