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.

At CAN, lower speeds in our local communities is not negotiable. We recognise the benefits it brings to all road users, including cyclists. Safe, connected, separated cycling infrastructure includes lower speeds. Vote for candidates who supports lower speeds on your local streets.

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.

Part of the cycling magic is seeing friends and locals while cycling around, and slamming on the brakes while calling out Kia ora! Hello! for a good 10 minute natter. Wouldn't it be nice to have greater chances of that happening?
