With Whanganui's inaugural Light Up Bike Spectacle less than a week away preparation is already well under way.
On Friday morning Bridget Murphy of Rangiwahia Environmental Arts Centre was helping Caylahni McLean-Woon make a shark lantern to put on his bike for next Friday's event at one of two workshops.
The all-ages, all-wheels event organised by the Whanganui District Council will have people circling a 5km flat loop taking in the city's shared pathways including the City to North Mole and Te Tuaiwi pathway through the central city.
Another workshop to help people make their own bicycle-mounted or hand-held lantern is being held this morning (Saturday) between 9am and 3pm at 131 Victoria Ave (the former Farmers homeware store).
The workshops are suitable for ages 5 and over.
Light Up Bike Spectacle will be held at 5.30pm on Friday, May 4.
