To celebrate ‘Go By Bike Day‘ today’s photo is the impressive view of Matiu Somes Island taken during ranger Don Herron’s morning commute to work.

Go By Bike Day is a one-day event every year where thousands of Kiwis ditch their cars or trains and buses – and cycle to work or school.

Today’s activities are part of Bike Wise Month, an annual programme in February that encourages New Zealanders to enjoy cycling. There are heaps of exciting events happening nationwide.

    It is amazing how different things look when you go by bike rather than car – great way to “open” your eyes.
