On ya bike! Katikati – get ready to spin your wheels! February is National Bike Month and Katch Katikati has organised two events for the 2026 Katikati Bike Series. The first event is a guided family bike ride around Katikati township on Saturday, February 21, with two guided options. The second event on February 28
is a unique, guided mountain biking adventure at the Waitekohekohe Recreational Park just south of Katikati, with two options. “We’ve decided to host these events to celebrate our local environment, promote active and healthy lifestyles, and highlight the ongoing trails work done behind the
scenes, that help enhance and expand the region’s trail network,” said event manager Kylie Watkins. Pictured are Katikati siblings Ella Royackers, 9, and Beau Royackers, 6, at the Vesey Stewart Recreation Reserve, near the Dave Hume Pools carpark, where the February 21 event will begin.
