I want a connected and complete cycling network - @jonnyosborne.bsky.social Candidate for Motukairangi Eastern Ward at Wellington City Council @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

One of the side benefits of jumping on your bicycle - apart from smiles on your face, the feeling of freedom, smelling the sea breeze, and enjoying the sun - is exercise. You don't think about it really. You have somewhere to go, so it's natural to jump on the bike and go! But ...1/n

Sometimes you need to Mix your Go, as Auckland Transport says - drive to the park’n’ride and take the bus; take the train to a station, then switch to bus, or walk to the ferry terminal. But when you pick your bicycle? That’s FREEDOM. #NiceToHaves #CycleFreedom #VoteforBikes
