Pacific women on wheels
Fifteen Pacific women will take part in a cycle ride tomorrow aimed at promoting cycling amongst Pacific women.
One of the ride’s organisers, CDHB Pacific Health Promoter Terisa Tagicakibau, says that in the Islands Pacific women
don’t do a lot of cycling so getting on a bike can be a big deal.
“The ride is all about encouraging Pacific women to get on their bikes and experience the joys of cycling,” says Terisa.
Where: Hagley Park, beside the Christchurch Women’s Hospital on Riccarton Ave.
When: Friday 21 February, 12 noon
