    Test your Olympic skills at Bayfair

    The London 2012 Olympics has kicked off and the New Zealand contingent proudly marched with teams from across the world in the spectacular opening ceremony.


    ANZ and Bayfair Shopping Centre is also giving shoppers a chance to indulge in the spirit of the games when the ANZ Olympic bus visits the centre between 10.00am-11.30am on Wednesday 8 August.


    This authentic London double-decker bus is an exciting Olympic experience, loaded with the latest equipment and technology, giving visitors the opportunity to test their rowing and cycling skills against the records of New Zealand’s top sports men and women.


    On the first level of the bus visitors can put down the shopping bags and put the pedal to the metal on rowing or cycling equipment to see how close they can get to Olympic racing times. Upstairs, there are ipads for visitors to use to post a special message of support to the New Zealand Olympic team.

    Between 9.00am and 4.00pm the 18 metre truck will be positioned at the shopping centre’s front car park. The mobile museum experience will give shoppers and sports fans an opportunity to learn about their favourite Kiwi athletes and discover New Zealand’s proud Olympic history.
