*If you’ve got a folding bike!
Back in 2010 I was lucky enough to spend some time in Vancouver, where all buses are equipped with bike racks, and it’s very easy to combine cycling with public transport. I blogged about this at the time, looking forward to some day being able to do the same thing in Wellington. GWRC and Go Wellington are slowly working towards putting bike racks on buses.
Greater Wellington Regional Council has included the implementation of bike racks on buses in its draft Long Term Plan, to be investigated and implemented where practical starting in 2017. It has been included in the ‘out years’ of the plan in order that high priority (and costly) upgrades to the rail commuter network may be completed in the short term.
It is hoped that the provision of bike racks on buses will encourage cycle commuting by providing a safe, fall-back option for cyclists who are caught out by bad weather, failing light or mechanical problems.
