Kapiti Cycling Inc. is a voice for Kapiti Coast cyclists – we are a volunteer organisation representing cyclists of all ages and abilities who wish to cycle safely throughout the region.

The benefits of cycling

Cycling is fast for short trips, energy efficient and helps create more liveable communities.

Cycling to work and school is an effective way to combat congestion, pollution, and an easy and natural way to incorporate regular exercise into our daily lives to keep healthy.

Cycling Tourism is low impact tourism and generates great economic benefits for the community/communities.
