We are calling on Wellington City Council, Waka Kotahi, and KiwiRail to improve the shared path on Old Hutt Road. People who will be using the soon to open Te Ara Tupua path need a safe and attractive continuation of this soon to be iconic seaside path.

Is this the dumbest objection to bike lanes ever?
"Cycling may be considered a “greener” option than using public transport, but cycleways use an awfully high amount of petroleum-based products to create and maintain." - Ray Chung @cyclewgtn.bsky.social www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608...
Wellington mayoral candidates on bike lanes
Each week we are asking the main mayoral candidates what they will do on key issues. This week: Retain, extend or reduce Wellington's current bike lane network?

“The e-bike market is skyrocketing — and, according to some studies, outpacing electric cars…The question now is: Do officials double down on deadly car-centric urban design, or do they rethink cities to encourage people to ditch four wheels for two?”

E-bikes could cut carbon, congestion, and costs — if cities take them seriously
E-bike sales are booming, providing a clean form of transportation that also improves public health. Yet cities remain committed to cars.

That #CyclingMagic - jump on the bike, head to the game, and you're warmed up! And it's a great way for kids to head to the soccer, or rugby, or swimming!

With about 7,500 sports clubs across the motu, there's lots of opportunities to #CycleToTheGame !

Wouldn't it be nice to have... more folks cycling to play weekend sports. Vote For Bikes. Cycling Action Network Pae te haere mā Pahikara. Image shows a netball hoop, a rugby ball, a soccer ball, and cricket stumps. There's a Childs bike and another bike with a 'voting tick' coming out of the front wheel.

Great weekend in Nga Motu / New Plymouth as the CAN Board visited @NorthTaranakiCyclingAdvocates - the Board inspected the new separated cycle infrastructure on SH3/Devon St West, and had a good korero with members from NTCA.

Pro-tip; you haven't lived til you've cycled the Coastal Walkway.

Grabbing a water bottle, she unlocked the bike, and set off down the drive. The clouds scudded across the sky, the wind was fresh, and she noticed the new spring growth. She breathed deeply, and there it was again - that old cycling magic; it never failed to arrive.

#VoteForBikes #CyclingMagic
Words say "Wouldn't it be nice to have... comfortable, safe space to enjoy that cycling magic" with "Vote For Bikes, Cycling Action Network, Pae te haere maa pahikara". and an image of a stylised bike with a voting tick coming out of the front wheel, and a smaller kids bike behind. There is a traffic sign saying 'bike lane'. There is a large faded question mark in the background.
