Waikato Coroner Gordon Matenga will travel to four separate regions throughout the country to hear evidence relating to eight cycling deaths to try and identify any common trends or information that could prevent a reoccurrence of such tragedies.
The first hearing will be held in Palmerston North on 21 July.
Coroner Matenga said travelling to different regions will mean family members and witnesses can attend the Inquest relevant to them but also allow for greater input from the cycling community and any other interested parties.
"These deaths are an absolute tragedy and we must do everything we can to uncover any lessons or measures that can help avoid them in the future," Coroner Matenga said.
Details of further Inquests will be released when confirmed.
The deaths referred to are those of the following people: Antony Chapman, Mary-Jane Bishop, Kay Wolfe, Mark Ferguson, Wilhelm Muller, Patricia Fraser, Rex Dalzell and Benjamin Lawless.
