“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath

Happy Festivus to all who celebrate!

*cough* NZTA plans for urban highways and tunnels in Wellington

Did somebody say BIKE RAVE?

London is fast becoming a cycling city. As each new piece in the network appears—which has more than quadrupled from 90 to 431 km since 2016—so do new cyclists. Its infrastructure now sees a stunning 1.5 million daily users—a 43% spike since 2019—moving nearly half as many people as the Tube below.🧵

Vandalism to public trails on Mt Victoria must stop. Someone could get hurt. These cowardly and malicious attacks damage public property including hand-planted native trees. Take extra care if you are riding trails on Matairangi. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

When is an e-bike not an e-bike? Let's call these what they are: electric motorcycles. electrek.co/2025/11/26/p... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

“The researchers describe the bicycle as a kind of “lifestyle companion” for older adults—a tool that keeps them physically active, mentally sharp, socially connected, & confidently mobile. That combination appears to delay the need for long-term care, preserve independence,& ultimately extend life”

Let the good times roll.

We're going to need more bike lanes. www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/early... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

Every last piece of transit & bike infrastructure seems to need to go thru "The Populist Playbook". Scare, complain, reject; rinse, wash, repeat. All the while the things we really should fear — generational poverty, climate chaos, species extinction — continue on.

Who could have predicted this?! Our Govt is wasting money on building stuff that makes traffic worse. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Look what happens when you build protected bike lanes! Instead of spending billions on new roads, the govt should build more protected bike lanes!

How will robotaxis interact with pedestrians and people on bikes? Who will give way? @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

A Mt Vic tunnel for private vehicles is a bad idea. Why? Induced traffic, opportunity cost, embedded carbon. PT, walking, cycling and demand management solutions would work better and cost less. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360... @cyclingactionNZ

"Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring." -Desmond Tutu, anti-apartheid and human rights activist #BicycleBirthday October 7 (1931 -2021)

Trees, not tunnels. Save the Town Belt. Today, volunteers planted trees near the Basin Reserve to show community opposition to Govt plans to ram a monster tunnel through the Wellington Town Belt.

Is this the dumbest objection to bike lanes ever? "Cycling may be considered a “greener” option than using public transport, but cycleways use an awfully high amount of petroleum-based products to create and maintain." - Ray Chung @cyclewgtn.bsky.social www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Wellington is truly a cycling city. How did plucky bunch of advocates build a movement, overcome bikelash, tacks, and hostile news media, for the city to add 30 km of bikelanes in three years, transforming Wellington streets? www.hannahplayhouse.org.nz/whats-on/the...
