Here at CAN, we know that every car trip replaced by bicycle brings benefits to our budget, and to our sense of well-being - it’s all part of the #CyclingMagic. If you experience that Cycling Magic, how about encouraging your work mates? It’s the last week to pop your vote back in the voting box!

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 ! #VoteForBikes

youtu.be/g12HR7soJwQ "Cycling is on my agenda because I believe all modes of transport having the platform they deserve." Candidate for Pukehinau/ Lambton Ward, Afnan Al-Rubayee @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Bike charities getting more people cycling as transport costs rise

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

youtu.be/XBoWeDE4FfQ?... WCC candidate @rebeccamatthews.bsky.social is committed to better cycling in Wellington. She is the only Councillor in the Wharangi / Onslow-Western ward who has supported this work. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Why can't Metlink run longer trains on weekends to meet demand? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

"I believe in the power of our community. We can make Pōneke a creative, sustainable, innovative, world-leading city. We've popped up a bike network because you championed it." - @lauriefoon.bsky.social youtu.be/vlf1XdYlvwc @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

@cyclewgtn.bsky.social and Bicycle Junction hosted WCC candidates.

Got your voting papers? Here's a voting guide from @cyclewgtn.bsky.social WCC has made massive progress on Wellington’s bike network, with good public support. But all that is at risk this election, with some candidates wanting to rip out bike lanes. www.cyclewellington.org.nz/voting_guide...

Frankie is a fan of bike lanes. "Now I feel safe." @cyclewgtn.bsky.social #WellingtonBikeLife

"Bike lanes = happy days. Keep going, Wellington City Council" - Callum #WellingtonBikeLife @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

It's part of that #CyclingMagic - on your bike you can pop down to a local cafe, to the bookstore, the gym because you can. You don't have to worry about finding a car park, or the traffic, or the sheer stress of driving - all those evaporate when you jump on your bike. www.can.org.nz/nice

Keep building bike lanes. I love them - Donna. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

I've got one of the best commutes in the world. It's a blast, riding over Mt Victoria. I'm all for the Council promoting biking in Wellington. - Paul @cyclewgtn.bsky.social #WellingtonBikeLife

Biking is a fun and easy way to get more exercise in your life. You’ll feel & look better when you regularly jump on your bike to go to work, to the shops, to the beach, and at CAN we stand behind that promise! #VoteForBikes #CyclingActionNetwork #MorePeopleOnBikesMoreOften www.can.org.nz/nice

As Ruth from Spokes Dunedin pointed out earlier this year, good bicycle parking at supermarkets makes all the difference! As many people noted, there is variability in the standard of bike parking at supermarkets; 1/n

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

"I'm committed to cycleway programmes"- Cr. Geordie Rogers, candidate for Wellington City Council Lambton / Pukehīnau ward @cyclewgtn.bsky.social @geordierogers.co.nz

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? #NiceToHaves @bikeauckland.bsky.social @spokescanterbury.bsky.social

Huge thanks to everyone who made Wellington's Go By Bike Day a success today. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Heaps of fun this morning at the @cyclewgtn.bsky.social DIY Go by bike day! The rain dampened the rides but not anyone's spirits. ❤️🚲🙏☔🌈

Celebrate the freedom and fun. See you on Wednesday, 19th at Queens Wharf for Go By Bike Day breakfast 7-9am @cyclewgtn.bsky.social 🚲 🚲 ☕️

Dave was sceptical about Karori bike lanes. Now he thinks they are working. "I can't see any sense in ripping them out. We should give them time to bed in and see how it works." @cyclewgtn.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/iYnXU...

We're back! Please join us at Go By Bike Day, 7-9am, Wed 19 March, Queens Wharf . Our cash-strapped Council isn't funding it, so the bike community is pulling together a grass-roots DIY event. Let's celebrate the fun, freedom and convenience of biking. Spread the word. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

"The infrastructure for cycling is fantastic". Visitor applauds Wellington. "I used to feel apprehensive on Crawford Rd, but the protected bike lane has been transformative." How has your experience of biking changed? youtube.com/shorts/4Bh-I... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Insanity. We haven't even had a chance to prove how much of an improvement it's been.

Wellington cycleways are under attack. I'm surprised to see some Councillors backtracking on safe streets and sustainable transport. Everyone deserves safe streets 24/7. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

New bike lane day! Thanks Wellington City Council for completing the Luxford St link. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

In response to the study from University of Otago "The road lobby and unhealthy transport policy discourse in Aotearoa New Zealand: A framing analysis", LSA has put out a statement with Cycling Action Network, @bikeauckland.bsky.social, @cyclewgtn.bsky.social and @spokescanterbury.bsky.social

There's no doubt: cycleways are popular and successful. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3605... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social @geordierogers.co.nz
