Hi,
How does your level of participation in sport impact on your happiness?
There is a plethora of research identifying the physical benefits of participating in sport but minimal research has focused on the impact of sport on psychological well-being.
Doctors tell us that 30 minutes of vigorous exercise three times a week helps our heart but what does it do for our happiness?
Are people who do not participate at all happy or perhaps the happiest?
However little or big your participation is in sport you can help us answer these very important questions by clicking on the link below and completing a 5 minute survey http://www.deakin.edu.au/psychology/research/sport/
This study aims to gain deeper insight into the relationship between different levels of sports participation and well-being and we could not have done it without you!Your time, effort and contribution to this research is very much appreciated.
Sincere gratitude,
Krystine HorfiniakPhD

At the time the decision was made to set the non competitive membership fee at $40, it was based upon external advice that was provided to Bike Manawatu which was unfortunately incorrect. When the error was realised, we were forced to increase the fee by another $10.00 to ensure the overheads were covered and we apologise for this. The West coast North Island Cycling Centre has been sympathetic to our plight and has been working with us.
Organisationally, there is no way around the affiliation fees associated with Bike Manawatu being a part of the wider union of cycling bodies (WCNI and Bike NZ). As pointed out on the Bike NZ website the fees contribute to the public liability protection for cyclists who belong to Bike Manawatu, and any other registered cycle club, and the issue is separate from those who want to race at licensed events. For Bike Manawatu to do something separate would be tantamount to ignoring the wider constitutional clauses which as a sub-body we are bound by. Simply the membership needs to accept this as a key factor that allows us to exist within the Bike NZ framework.
