Our Bike Hub vision
Bike hubs provide a community-based approach to normalise cycling everywhere around us. They provide a low-barrier, supportive, inclusive, and accessible place and are at the centre of cycling in a neighbourhood. Run by locals and supported by a wide range of partners, they form a reliable and trusted network across Tāmaki Makaurau.
Community Bike Hubs - Te Poka Pū Paihikara i tēnei Hapori
A project to bring 9 new Bike Hubs to communities across Tāmaki Makaurau throughout 2023.
Why Bike Hubs
A third of Aucklanders currently ride bikes. Another third say access to a bike prevents them from cycling. Bike Hubs make it easier for existing and new cyclists to access affordable bikes, basic bike fixes, and local friendly guidance.
Bikes are key tools to reduce pollution, increase accessibility, and support local economies. Auckland Transport wants to make it easy for people to cycle, as we look to deliver on our promise of better journeys for all Aucklanders.
Ngā Tiriti Ngangahau – The Vibrant Streets programme is led by Auckland Council and designed to address emissions from our transport system and improve active modes access. This programme has co-funded Community Bike Hubs, noting it’s alignment to Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan, and key outcomes including:
- Environmental – Increasing access to bikes and encouraging bike usage
- Safety – getting unsafe bikes fixed, upskilling riders, and sharing best practices
- Community – creating a place for locals to connect, learn, and have fun on bikes
- Economic – employing local people and upskilling volunteers as a potential pathway to paid work
Your Bike Hubs
We know bike hubs work best when they look, feel, and operate like a local. That’s why we’ve partnered with local groups to operate our hubs, working with Auckland-based artists to design the containers, and co-designing the operating model with the community. See the tables above and below to explore our bike hub operators.
We’ve met with and spoken to a significant number of stakeholders across all bike hub sites including Crown agencies, Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs), elected members, bike shops, community enterprises, business owners, mana whenua, and local residents. We’re working closely with people who want to make sure the bike hubs are serving their communities as best as possible. If we’ve missed you, please get in touch.
Bike hubs will be operated out of two re-purposed shipping containers; modified as workshops and artistically designed to represent the local community and place. To create these designs, we’re working with local artists to create site-specific murals to be featured on the containers. We’re looking into the potential to apply this artwork to one of the shipping containers and leave the second as a community mural.
Our plan for Bike Hubs
This project supercharges the growth of our bike hub network and will see up to nine bike hubs delivered in the next two years by AT. Some bike hubs will be completely new, while some community bike spaces will be supported to become a full bike hub. Existing bike hubs and other spaces will continue to be supported.

Timeframes
It can be difficult to give hard timeframes as the establishment of the bike hubs is subject to many factors outside of AT’s control. However, we estimate the following timeframes for bike hub delivery:
- May / June – Deliver stage 1 with two bike hubs launched in Mt Roskill and Waiheke.
- July / August – Deliver stage 2 with five bike hubs launched in Pakuranga, Onehunga, Grey Lynn, Forrest Hill, and Manukau.
- October / November – Deliver stage 3 with three bike hubs launched in Epsom and Papakura / Manurewa.
