This new city cycle ride following the wheel tracks of Kate Sheppard is packed with inspiring stories of gender equality and world change. Our tour guide will take you on an easy hour’s ride past key locations linked to Kate Sheppard's political and personal life.
Our city of Ōtautahi Christchurch was the home of Kate Sheppard and this 'herstory' cycle tour follows the wheel tracks of New Zealand's most famous suffragist, Kate Sheppard. This tour will take you past sites where she fought and rallied to bring voting equality to women in 1893— giving NZ boasting rights for being the first country in the world to do so!
The cycle tour ends with a Victorian-style morning tea back in the Camellia room in Kate Sheppard's former home.
