The Aotearoa Bike Challenge is a month-long competition from Love to Ride, which aims to get more people riding bikes. At a time when environmental issues, wellness, and money saving are important factors for many, there has never been a better time to ride a bike. You can enter as an individual, or join our ANZCO Foods team. There are heaps of prizes up for grabs too!

  • Your bike rides earn points, and the more points you have the higher chance you will have of winning prizes.
  • Workplaces compete against others to top the Leaderboard.

How you can take part

There are many benefits to riding a bike, like:

  • Better physical health – even a 10-minute bike ride will boost your immune system, improve cardiovascular health, and help you live longer!

  • Improved mental health – riding a bike is a mindful activity that promotes the release of endorphins and can reduce the causes of depression

  • Reduced stress and anxiety - biking can calm the mind, improve self-confidence, and elevate your mood

  • Protecting the planet – reduce your carbon footprint by leaving the car at home

  • Saving money – cut down on transport costs and car maintenance
