The capital is the only region in New Zealand that is up on every single one of its statistics compared with the 2022 challenge.
More than 2,440 Wellington residents had taken part in the challenge by 21 February. They notched up more than 326,282 kilometres and 22,462 bike trips. The riders came from 261 workplaces.
The Aotearoa Bike Challenge is run by Love to Ride, and has the aim of encouraging New Zealanders to get on their bikes throughout February.
People can still take part in the challenge and registrations will remain open until 28 February.
