World singlespeeds add to events culture

Posted by on May 16th, 2010

Many kiwis don’t get how events bring people to NZ.

Unicycling had hundreds in Wellington earlier in the year.

In October the world singlespeed champs are on in Rotorua. Over 800 entries so far from 25 countries.

These mountainbikes don’t have gears – need to have really strong legs as well as finesse.

Economic development happens in a wide variety of ways.

    Brilliant comment. Tourism is one of our big earners of hard foreign currency. More please, to give us the time and resources to develop new sources.
