My name is Jonas Froetschl and I am in my last year of school here in
Wellington.
As a year-long assignment I am researching road cycling in New Zealand
with the aim to promote New Zealand as a cycle holiday destination to an
international audience.
I have designed a few questions to find out how you, the cyclist, feels
on New Zealand roads. Answering these questions will help me progress my
research and hopefully lead to me making a valuable contribution to
cycling and tourism in New Zealand.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated (will only take
2 minutes),
Please find the link to my survey below:

Cheers
Jonas Froetschl
P.S. If you have any further information that could support my project

to hear from you.

Just a reminder that if you are thinking about riding at Club nationals and some other events around the country this year you will be required to wear club kit.
This can be plain black shorts and Bike Manawatu shirt as a minimum.

Club Administrators Portal Update
- Our providers have run several fixes on known bugs this week that have been affecting club membership reports. These fixes have no implication on financial settlement for which data is received from DPS. We have asked that our providers supply us with up-to-date reports for each club giving accurate membership for the period of Nov 15 – Feb 14. These reports are expected on Friday 15thFebruary, and will be distributed as soon as they are received. Our apologies to all club administrators who have been unduly stressed as a result of the reporting issues.
- The portal is currently live in beta and we have been getting valuable feedback from a group of administrators currently accessing it including Bike Manawatu.
Insurance update
- A reminder that all 2012 affiliated clubs continue to be affiliated at tier two level until 31 March 2013, by which point affiliation documents will be distributed by BikeNZ for consideration by your club.
- A copy of the current BikeNZ Liability insurance package has been attached. Specific details of coverage can be found page 7 of the “BikeNZ Liability Insurance Package” document.
Membership cards
- Members who joined in, or prior to, January, should have now have membership cards. We are aware of some members receiving multiple cards and we are looking into this.
- To send the membership cards we require a valid postal address. Please ensure that you and your club members have a valid address in both the “address” and “delivery address” sections on their online profiles.
Club Road National Championships
- The course, programme and pricing are pending final approval, which is expected this week. The course will take in some magnificent vistas for riders through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
- The proposed programme is available to view on the event page here: http://www.bikenz.org.nz/Event?Action=View&Event_id=92
- Lakes Leisure are providing great in-kind and infrastructure support. They will hold naming rights for the u15 – 17 junior grades.
We thank you again for your patience during all the technical difficulties – we’re nearly there!

Over a week of fantastic cycling events started with the 2 day tour in which we had several members riding. A stand out performance on Saturday by Neville Weir in the first stage Time trial saw him leading in the 50 + age group. He was able to retain that lead on the following stage and according to the results taking the stage from all age groups. However due to illness Neville wasn’t able to start the following day in stage 3.
Mike Thompson, Ross Castle and Greg Baker also competed in the 2 day tour in this age category. Graeme Bull competed in the 55+ age group.
In the ladies 2 day tour, Averil Sheehan took away the bronze in the 55+ age group whilst Jenny Farmer came away with the silver in the 65+ age group.
