Go by Bike Day on Wednesday 13th around the Bay was a huge success with over 460 cyclists enjoying the Pit Stops set up by Sport Bay of Plenty,  MoreFM & 1XX.

It was a change away from the traditional breakfast event, and has proven to be a popular choice. Many cyclists commented that having the Pit Stops on the way to work or school meant they didn't have to go to far out of their way to be part of Go By Bike Day.

Along with the Go by Bike Day buzz, there was the chance to win a brand new mountain bike, and winners have been announced.
