The RideGI programme
In Glen Innes, we’re supporting local people through our RideGI cycling programme.
RideGI helps people of all ages and abilities:
- feel confident riding bikes
- connect to local places and spaces
- make better use of new and existing cycleways.
Through RideGI, Auckland Transport works alongside schools, whānau and community partners. We deliver fun, whānau-friendly learn to ride and confidence-building activities, group rides and local events. We provide programmes that help remove cost barriers to cycling, and practical support to help local people get riding.
In the 2026 financial year over 1000 people took part in our cycling programmes.

The Glen Innes bike hub is at Maybury Reserve on Taniwha Street.
It’s a friendly community space where you can get:

Upcoming events
Ride It Keep It – Glen Innes
Event details
This free programme is for locals who would benefit from having a bike but cannot afford one. It is run by Got to Get Out (opens in a new tab), with funding from Auckland Transport.
The Ride It Keep It kaupapa (mission) gives unwanted bikes a second life. It keeps them out of landfill, restoring them and getting them back into the hands of people who need them.
If you come to a free, 3-hour session, you will get:
- a refurbished bike
- safety and maintenance tips
- a short, guided ride
- a new helmet, lock and pump — all to keep.
The programme runs from October to November and is open to people who live in Glen Innes, Point England and Panmure.
You can join if you are a:
- senior citizen
- Community Services cardholder
- student Year 5 or above.
If you’re under 14 years old, you need to bring an adult with you. You need to already know how to ride a bike.
