The Convergence

Where bikes, people and climate action meet

It’s climate action for the whole community, and it’s fun! Kicking off the Albert-Eden and Puketāpapa Eco Festival, the Convergence is an afternoon of entertainment and awareness raising for everyone, featuring climate-friendly activities for little and big kids, and community stalls where you can learn more about cool environmental things happening in our areas. There will be live music and performances, and healthy kai too. And it’s an active transport event so try making your way to Ōwairaka Park on foot, by bike, or on public transport. You can join one of two all-abilities guided bike rides, taking in local landmarks from the safety of Tāmaki Makaurau’s extensive cycle lane network.

Ride with us to the park

Safe riding for all ages, celebrating the cycle paths in Tāmaki Makaurau

Join experienced leaders for a fun and active way to get to The Convergence. Choose from two guided rides taking you to Ōwairaka Park on some of Tāmaki Makaurau’s fabulous cycle paths. We will meander through parkland, along the beautiful Te Auaunga awa, and glide along safe paths through neighbourhoods.

Both rides incorporate ‘stations’ where you can join the ride. Each one showcases interesting and fun landmarks in Albert-Eden and Puketāpapa. Click on the ride you would like to do to register. When you register you will be able to choose a starting point that suits your biking ability, and will be informed of what time you will join the ride.
