Unfortunately, many of the people I see stopped at the lights are on seriously terrible bikes. I’m see rusty, too-big or too-small mountain bikes with brakes that barely work and people look unconfident and uncomfortable on their bikes. Riding the wrong bike can actually make cycling seriously not fun. Recently several of my colleagues have gotten bicycles with the intention of cycling to work. I have noticed that they too seem to have missed some items that to me are essential for bike commuting.

Have you been there yet? Looks pretty fancy. It’s the reason cycling through Newtown has been even more like a video game than usual. I thought I’d check it out on my way home, as I needed a loaf of bread anyway. Luckily, I was in my car today, as the new Countdown doesn’t seem to cater for cyclists. I know it’s been discussed amongst many in the neighbourhood and the cycling community, what a nuisance the roadworks have been, how they’ve endangered pedestrians and cyclists, how they don’t seem to have thought much about congestion, etc. etc. I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised once it opened. I was not. newtown retail places business cycling sport Wed, 05 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2012/12/the-new-newtown-countdown/ Cycling in Wellington 2012-12-05T00:00:00Z -41.307230703817496 174.776582534409 John Street, Newtown, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6021, New Zealand http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2012/10/theres-a-new-kid-on-the-block/ Opening officially today is “Bicycle Junction”; the latest addition to Wellington’s cycling scene. Brooke from Mamachari and Dan from Crank Cargo have joined forces to open a new urban cycling store in Newtown. They sell a range of bikes – refurbished imports through to Christiania trikes – plus all the accessories one could dream off… including my favourite, cup holders!

The standard ‘staples’ we see around Wellington are functional but…they’re kinda boring and I have to say I don’t think they add much to the cityscape. In fact I’ll go further than that. They’re drab and plain, and I say we see them but actually we don’t. lyallbay places cycling sport Mon, 11 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/07/bike-parking-in-wellington-its-boring/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-07-11T00:00:00Z -41.3240435 174.7978916 Lyall Bay, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa
