There were many bike wheels whirring around the streets of Rotorua as more than 680 people took part in the city's 2021 Go By Bike Day.
It is a joint initiative between the Safe and Sustainable Journeys team at Rotorua Lakes Council and Sport Bay of Plenty.
Sport Bay of Plenty recreation connector Lizzy Gaston says there was a great turnout at the event on Wednesday morning.
"It was awesome to see a bunch of schools jump on board this year and encourage their students to get involved, including Glenholme, Lynmore and St Mary's primary schools.
"We were also lucky to have the assistance of Rotorua police who helped escort large groups of kids on their bikes, and Evo Cycles Rotorua manning one of the pitstops."
