AT will be providing free secure bike valet parking service at the Onehunga festival, making it easy for you to enjoy the festival while they take care of your ride.

They'll also be chatting with local people to better understand the places people in Onehunga are traveling to by bike, the places they want to go to by bike in the future, and if there’s anything they need help with to start biking.

So forget the hassle of finding a car park and ride your bikes to the festival with your whānau! 🚲
