What is the Biketober Passport?
The Biketober Passport is a self-guided cycling event that you can do anytime during October 2018.
​
The Passport is a map of Christchurch, and it shows bike-friendly ways to travel across the city, such as the new Major Cycleways and other cycle lanes.
​
40 Passport Destinations are marked on the map – some are offering discounts or special deals to cyclists during October. How many Destinations can you get to on your bike during Biketober?
