At the University of Otago, you will find the Otago University Bike Club!

They are looking to foster anyone with a bike, and would love for you to make them a known entity within your circles.

Find them on Instagram and Facebook, and there's also a members only group. 

They will cater for all bikes, connecting roadies, mountain bikers and commuters alike. They are looking to go full steam for summer, but currently offer weekly road/mtb group rides, and will look to incorporate a pedal and pint evening once daylight savings works in favour for anything past 5pm. 

They look forward to seeing you, should you choose Otago.
