Going to the IKEA opening? You may be thinking about going by bike 🚲

⚠️ Please be careful: it's an area for experienced bike riders, with some more dangerous areas. If you're not sure, the train is an option

If you do bike there, this map shows a good approach 💡

💡 Another reason, if you need one, to swap out car journeys with bike rides: new research shows that the bulk of ocean microplastic around NZ is caused by driving 🐋🪸🔬

Have your say on this separated bike lane in Papatoetoe 🚲

As well as changes to bus travel, AT propose protecting the existing southbound cycleway by separating it from traffic, making it safer for people on bikes.

A sign has been installed in middle of cycle lane in Hobsonville 🪧😱

This is more than a 'contractor mistake' - it's a complete lack of common sense and poor process.
