• • Cycling advocates award Fellowship to improve community accountability

    • 11 Nov 2021
    • Cycle Wellington
    • Cycle Wellington has awarded the Alastair Smith Memorial Fellowship for 2021-22 to Jonathan Coppard. The Fellowship is dedicated to furthering the work of veteran Wellington cycling advocate, Alastair Smith, who passed away in November 2019. It has a value of $5000. Jonathan Coppard's project will improve the inclusivity and diversity of cycling advocacy. “Unfortunately for many decades now, Wellington's street environment has been so hostile to cyclists that only a few people feel able to ride bikes,” he says. “This has led to a situation where cycling activism is unrepresentative of the wider Wellington community. We need to do better.” “We are now starting to see a change in both the physical and cultural approach to streets. Bike lanes are changing the street environment so that more people feel able to ride a bike. It is essential that Cycle Wellington changes at the same time so that we are representative of the people we advocate for, and can contribute to the work required to address inequalities in Wellington.”

• • Cycling at Bishop Viard College

    • 3 Nov 2021
    • Partners Porirua
    • The cycling project at Bishop Viard College saw around 80 Year 7 and 8 students get on bikes and learn new skills. Over the course of the three sessions, students went from beginner to expert, eventually heading off for a ride off the school grounds, utilizing the cycle track across the road from the school. This was a real highlight for the students.

    • Wellington plans to build a 147 km network of bike lanes are an effective way to take climate action, say cycling advocates, but they must be built much faster.

• • Points Table for Race 4 - Final - Tineli Winter Series

    • 13 Aug 2021
    • Kapiti Cycling Club
    • The finale in the 2021 series (the first for 2 years - Covid dealt to 2020) was a windy affair, but at least it was dry - credit to Kapiti Coast winters for 4 fine Saturdays in a row (we won't talk about the first one!)  The strong westerly wind certainly made it interesting - lots of tactics required (and used!) and the bunches broke up in every grade.
