This is such an easy one to support, especially if you've ever squinted at the measly painted gutters on Green Lane West and thought: "That's not a bike lane!"
TL;DR: Auckland Transport is proposing to paint the on-road lanes a little wider. Do it once, do it right – physically protect these lanes!

All we want for Christmas is a bite of safety the size of a chocolate bar 🍫
Auckland Transport’s proposed improvements for cycling on Green Lane West won’t meet safety standards – but small tweaks can change that.

OK, Tāmaki Makaurau, the hornet army is on the march. Time to saddle up, cut up some bottles and trap the little bastards before they do any more damage.
MPI has bumped up the zone so if you're inside that purple line it's time to get busy.

I've been doing a bunch of media about Australia's social media ban for under 16s this week.
NZ looks likely to follow.
Before we copy-paste a ban, here’s what actually matters (imo) 👇

A cyclist has serious injuries after being hit by a car at Te Atatū on-ramp this morning. We must stop mixing motorway infrastructure with pedestrian and cyclist crossings.

RIP Martin Parr. I worked with him once on a story about the NHS. I interviewed and he photographed Britain's busiest and least busy GP. I think he was brilliant and this is one of my favorites of his.

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.
