Biking = joy

“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.

Shame. Why are some NZ drivers so aggressive? Why does the law do so little to protect people on bikes? www.rnz.co.nz/life/people/... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

E-bikes good. Unregistered high powered electric motorbikes bad. theconversation.com/that-e-bike-... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

E-bikes are great. But unregistered powerful electric motorbikes are different. They are a problem in the wrong hands. They are illegal on roads, trails, and paths. Police need the tools to enforce the law and reduce risk. Tune in to Seven Sharp tonight. @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

Great day for a ride

I wonder how this would affect the NZ movie industry and workers? Are workers unionised? Would the NZ Govt continue to offer subsidies for AI content?

So much infrastructure just crams bikes and pedestrians together which really only works if there aren’t many of either. Increasing the number of folks on e-bikes highlights the problems.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver.

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...
