New Zealanders are embracing cycling for convenience, fuel savings, and fun. It's time to upgrade shared paths and build proper separated bike lanes. @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social Tune in to RNZ Morning Report at 7.25

Sure, bike lanes are cool. But does your city have a secret airport tunnel? @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

"The city council should review Oriental Bay and build a proper protected bike lane there," Morgan said. www.rnz.co.nz/news/communi... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Wellington loves biking. Thanks Bicycle Junction and Wellington City Council.

I led a group e-biking along Wellington's new Te Ara Tupua path today. They all came back with smiles. Many expressed a desire to acquire an e-bike. #ebikegrin @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Today, I managed to cycle all the way to Lower Hutt from my apartment in Newtown, Wellington. It's about 20km and I was able to use cycle lanes and/or shared paths for pretty much the whole way there! I didn't think I'd be able to do this in my lifetime, and I'm absolutely stoked.

"This city is not safe for cyclists and it's your responsibility." 😭 Every council in Aotearoa should take note! #SaferInfrastructure @bikeauckland.bsky.social www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/595...

Thanks, Bicycle Junction, for your advocacy for a better city. Doughnuts at dawn are much appreciated. #Tearatupua @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Te Ara Tupua is open and it's magnificent. youtube.com/shorts/m0-eX... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

#TeAraTupua is open! It's transforming how people get around Te Whanganui a Tara. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social 1/n

With Te Ara Tupua now open, and high fuel prices, this is more relevant than ever. www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2014/02/11/t... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social @patrickreynolds.bsky.social @greaterauckland.bsky.social

Is your Mayor this cool? @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

Bike lanes generate huge benefits: safety, easy travel, cleaner air, less congestion, cost savings, fun. But WCC plans to cancel bike lane projects. Please tell them what you want, by Sunday 10th. Here's a submission guide from Cycle Wellington www.cyclewellington.org.nz/annual_plan_...

In a fuel crisis, the Govt must unlock transport choices: more bike lanes and free public transport. I'll be on RNZ The Panel shortly. Sign our open letter www.can.org.nz/open-letter-... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social @@bikeauckland.bsky.social

What do you do when your city cancels bike lane plans? You build a people-protected bike lane. We put our bodies on the line. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

In a fuel crisis, in a climate crisis, in an affordability crisis, it makes sense to build bike lanes. Join us tomorrow to call for action. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

In a fuel crisis, in a climate crisis, in an affordability crisis, why is Wellington cutting bike lane funding? Join us on Thursday to fight for a better city.

"They were so lucky I was looking" Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.

In a fuel crisis, why is Wellington back pedalling on bike lanes? Take action on Monday to save our bike lanes. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Adelaide City Council is launching pop-up bike lanes as bike sales soar by 136% amid the fuel crisis. “With fuel supplies squeezed and prices through the roof, South Australians need alternatives to cars to get to work, school and the shops,” said Greens leader Robert Simms.

You can't beat Wellington on a bike day.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch." I'm angry at WCC's framing of spending money on protected cycle lanes. Why is public safety up for debate? In a world full of misinformation and culture wars, how do they expect this will play out? @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

I see Vance visited Hungary to support Orbán. I wonder if he could come to New Zealand before the next election? #nzpol

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth

Save Wellington bike lanes. Protect the climate, keep people safe, avoid high fuel prices. Take action today. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Well done Wellington City Council for the rapid rollout of protected bike lanes. We all deserve safe streets. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

With gas prices soaring, some people might search for cheaper transportation options. In many cites, a bicycle is a cheap and easy way to get around gas free. Give it a try.

Coming to Newtown by bike for the big festival tomorrow? Thanks to @WCC bike lanes, you can get here easily. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social
