Where can I ride BMX?

There are 31 clubs around New Zealand that are open to new membership. The range from Whangarei in the North to Invercargill in the South. These clubs often run ' PLAY BIKE days/sessions' (have a go) so your entire family can come & give BMX a go. Below is a calendar of upcoming events.                              

BMX is for pedal & balance (strider) bikes, all ages & skill levels. 

Anyone keen to give BMX a go should visit a local club, find one that is close to you, so that travelling to the Club is easy and you can use the benefits of membership. In addition to the PLAY BIKE sessions/days available, ALL BMX Clubs run regular club nights which also accommodate new riders/families to come along anytime.​​​​​​​

As a beginner, talk to your local Club and ask what is needed and how to get started. Your local club will be the key place for all BMX information.
