Activities
[edit]Biketober is locally organised and looks different in different locations.
In Aotearoa New Zealand, Biketober is a collection of community-organised activities such as group rides.[1] There is a strong focus on inclusivity and encouraging a wide variety of people to get involved.[2]
In Australia[3] and the US,[4] Biketober has included a challenge where people can win prizes for biking.
Some Biketober festivals have cycling activism elements too.[5]
