Free Ride

Only one month until enrolment closes. If you're not sure if you're enrolled, come down and check at our Block Party at Motutawa Avalon Park. We'll also have health checks, information, kai, music and more. Come down and hang in a great park, with your friends and whānau, listen to some sounds and ride bikes... what could be better? Block Party is brought to you by Free Ride (Naenae Park) in collaboration with The Electoral Commission.

The workshop in Naenae is closed this afternoon. See you on Saturday.

Looking for something to do in the school holidays (next week)? Come to our Free Block Party at the bike track at Avalon Park 🚴. All ages are welcome.

It's the last week of school term, but we are still playing at Daly Street.

The Free Ride team are very excited to announce the launch of our Let's Go Te Ara Tupua programme, kicking off on Labour day Monday 26 October. We are starting with a community bike day at Honiana Te Puni Reserve. You'll be able to get free bike checks, free beginner guided rides on our e-bike fleet, learn how to repair a puncture out on the trail and we'll enjoy music, stalls and kai. Thanks to The Te Ara Tupua Alliance, and Taranaki Whanui for their support of our mahi. Let's GO!

Our pricing structure is clear and equitable. You must be a Free Ride member (join on our website) to access our services. If you have a community services card, gold card, or are a rangatahi or tamariki you are eligible for our Platinum membership. If you are working you are eligible for Gold membership. If you live outside of Lower Hutt or upper Hutt, you'll still get access to all our free services, but have to pay for bikes and fixing, still much cheaper than your average bike shop. All our mechanic work is checked by an experienced and qualified mechanic. We stand by our mahi keeping bikes safe and accessible. This would not be possible without the support of HCC and UHCC Mauri ora.
