Crankworx spectators are being encouraged to ride their bikes to the event, with the creation of a Crankworx cycleway.

Deputy mayor Dave Donaldson said spectators were encouraged to ride to and from the Skyline Rotorua site, with cycleways being promoted as part of this.

"Crankworx is a celebration of all things biking-related, from the athletes and competitions themselves, to Kidsworx which encourages families and youngsters to get involved and give things a go, right through to the Expo which offers everything cycling you could ever dream of.

"The Rotorua Lakes Council has put cycleways in place for spectators to be able to get in on the riding action by cycling to the event - this will help free up congestion and ensure punters don't miss out on any action while they're trying to find a spot to park the car!

"What better way to get into the festival spirit than by riding to the event?"

Two Crankworx cycleways have been set up which utilise existing Rotorua cycle paths.

Both routes are a mixture of road, footpath and tracks, and begin at the i-SITE on the corner of Fenton and Arawa Streets - one in the direction of Skyline Rotorua, the other towards the Whakarewarewa mountain bike trails at Waipa on SH5.

"The cycleways go through some of Rotorua's most historically significant sites and are tours all on their own," Mr Donaldson said.

"The fact people can ride right from the forest to amidst the Crankworx action brings them full circle, as they will also be a part of history-in-the-making by being involved in the event."

Designated bike parks will be available onsite in the Crankworx Village, enabling riders to lock up their two-wheeled modes of transport. There will be security present at the bike park, but there will not be a check-in/check-out system, so riders are advised to bring their own bike locks.

Maps of the cycleways are available from the Rotorua i-SITE located on the corner of Arawa and Fenton Streets. Directional signs from town to Skyline Rotorua will be in place from tomorrow.
