A free bike-powered celebration of movement, music, and climate action.
Bike Curious is a joyful, bike-focused, all-ages community takeover of Falls Park in Henderson.
Expect an afternoon and evening packed with live music and DJs, jaw-dropping BMX shows, and hands-on, playful activities for all ages. Share kai at the Bikers Banquet (a community potluck), explore an antique and unusual bike display, take in bike-themed short films, ride the pump-track, pedal your way to a bike-powered smoothie, tune your ride at the Bike Hub, learn to ride a unicycle, or give your wheels a glow-up at the “Pimp Your Bike” workshop.
As the sun goes down we light up the night with a glow ride through Cranwell Park and the Henderson Creek Path - complete with the renowned Vospertron glowing robots.
BMX showcases from world-class riders:
- Jed Mildon – first person in the world to land a quadruple backflip on BMX
- Hugh Wotherspoon – Spoonworks legend and backbone of the NZ BMX scene
- Riley Neilson – known for the biggest tricks in NZ BMX
- Brooklyn Williams – #1 dirt rider in Aotearoa
Bike and scooter parking will be available at key locations - please bring a lock.
At its heart, Bike Curious is a community climate action event - using fun, creativity, and culture to celebrate the joy and practicality of getting around by bike, scooter, and on foot, while imagining a more connected and equitable future.
Bring your bike, bring your friends, bring a dish - and come get Bike Curious.
Bike Curious is an activation delivered by Interesting Things and supported by the Auckland Urban Development Office to build momentum for active travel ahead of Henderson’s new Wai Horotiu walking and cycling connection.
