Join us in promoting cycling as a sustainable, joyful and inclusive transport mode to more Aucklanders than ever.
Auckland
Biketober is a community-powered festival on wheels held every October. A bigger, bolder and better-than-ever Biketober will change the conversation around cycling, bring local decision-makers on board, and get more people than ever giving cycling for transport a whirl.
We know that Biketober has the power to change hearts and minds. But as a small team, we are constantly stretching our capacity. We need funds to take Biketober to the next level, creating even more of an impact across our region.
Your donation will help Bike Auckland organise and promote the festival. With your help, we’ll have an even wider range of fabulous events. And masses of people right across the region will see joyful bike events in action.
Donate now, or run a fundraiser! You could ask for sponsorship for your cycling goal, or run an event like a sausage sizzle or bake sale to raise money. You could even run a Bike Wash. Get your friends involved too!
Four teams, North & Waiheke, South, West, and Central & East Auckland, are competing to raise the most funds for Biketober for each area of Auckland. The area which raises the most money will see their name in lights as hosts of the launch of Biketober 2025! Funds raised in your area will support Biketober activations in your area.
A huge thanks to you for your support 10 April 2025
Annnnnd that's a wrap! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, and volunteered time towards this fundraiser. And special thank you to Sandfield, Lime, and Zoomin e-Bikes for providing match funding during the campaign.
While the fundraising page on Givealittle has now closed, you are most welcome to continue to make donations via our website here: https://www.bikeauckland.org.nz/donate/
The Central & East Team is the winning area and will be the host for the Biketober opening event! If that's not your area, don't worry - there will be lots of other events across the region, and we'll make sure no area misses out.
We'll be sharing an update next week about how much we've raised in total - leaving time for the Bike Karaoke this Friday to bring in some final donations (check out Bike Karaoke here: https://www.bikeauckland.org.nz/event/sing-your-heart-out-big-bike-off-karaoke/ )
Thanks again,
The team at Bike Auckland
