Memo for city council candidates.

Why are we waiting? thespinoff.co.nz/society/15-0... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

The puzzle.

“Around every corner was another breathtaking view. I honestly don’t think any other trail in New Zealand offers so much variety in such a compact ride.” www.stuff.co.nz/travel/36068... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

Is this the next Popemobile?

Wellington is a cycling city. Do try it. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills

The most important thing was to keep the city "on track" with issues such as the cycleway network, building more social housing, and investing in water. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

You don’t have to be a “cyclist” to support safe bike infrastructure in your city. You don’t have to ride bikes at all. You just have to understand the FACT that bike infrastructure makes getting around easier & safer for EVERYONE, saves us all public money, & makes cities generally more successful.

Bike lanes help cities attract tech workers. If your city isn't investing in cycling, yiou are missing out on growth industries. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social www.cyclewellington.org.nz/a_wheely_goo...

Amazing how before cycle lanes were invented there was no way for a business to fail.

The NZ Govt. is a death cult. www.nzherald.co.nz/gisborne-her... @@cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

Rebecca is a strong and effective champion for affordable housing, climate action, and protected bike lanes. She had earned my support. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

"Once you get on the bike you get the endorphins and it’s like right, this is cool." @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social www.1news.co.nz/2025/04/18/m...

Reducing car dependence in our cities makes us all better off. Cleaner air, less congestion, faster trips. www.stuff.co.nz/climate-chan... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

“We love the cycleways,” he said. “Lots of people cycling in the morning to work, people park up out here, have a coffee.” www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Good news for Otago! 👏🚲

Pretty, pretty good, Wellington

Thanks to everyone who kept the pressure on. www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3606... @spokescanterbury.bsky.social

Thanks to Frith, Steve, and Andrew for advocating for safe streets. Glenmore St bike lanes are popular and successful. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social Watch at www.youtube.com/live/dfsEGEp...

Karori bike lanes - what does Heather think? youtube.com/shorts/4Ilw7... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

"We don't need a handful of councillors wading in as traffic engineers to make unilateral changes that undermine our bus network," Nash told RNZ. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

What has Christchurch done right to get so many people on bikes? thespinoff.co.nz/society/26-0... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social @spokescanterbury.bsky.social @bikeauckland.bsky.social @drsimonk.bsky.social

Look after your bike: two quality locks, insurance, and a 529 shield. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606... @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

Wellington is a cycling city. That's something to celebrate: less congestion, cleaner air, affordable, convenient, and fun. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social
