On 30 April, Council will debate the Wellington Cycling Framework, the “master plan” for developing cycling in Wellington. Is this the start of the progress that the rally demanded, or is it another exercise in procrastination? cycleway wcc transport cycling cycle-lanes government sport Tue, 28 Apr 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2015/04/wellington-cycling-framework-progress-or-procrastination/ Cycling in Wellington 2015-04-28T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2013/08/bikes-on-buses-you-can-do-it-now/ *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. cycling buses sport transport Sun, 11 Aug 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2013/08/bikes-on-buses-you-can-do-it-now/ Cycling in Wellington 2013-08-11T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2012/02/wellington-city-bus-review/ GWRC is “proposing” new bus routes across the city. consultation bus-review buses regional-council transport government cycling sport Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2012/02/wellington-city-bus-review/ Cycling in Wellington 2012-02-27T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/12/the-rimutaka-rail-trail-new-heritage-train-proposal/ The Rimutaka Incline Railway Heritage Trust wants to reconstruct the Rimutaka Railway on part of it’s old route, which is now a cycling and walking track between Maymorn and the summit. rimutaka-railway trains transport cycling sport Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/12/the-rimutaka-rail-trail-new-heritage-train-proposal/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-12-30T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/11/bikes-on-buses-in-the-draft-gwrc-long-term-plan/ 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. regional-council cycling buses government sport transport Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/11/bikes-on-buses-in-the-draft-gwrc-long-term-plan/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-11-29T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/11/save-the-basin-today/ This just in: Save the Basin – Public Protest Thursday 24 November 5. basinreserve transport cycling sport Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/11/save-the-basin-today/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-11-23T00:00:00Z -41.30037055 174.7802503270504 Basin Reserve, Dufferin Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/10/wellington-public-transport-spine-study/ Survey time!  Awesome. transport consultation cycling sport Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/10/wellington-public-transport-spine-study/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-10-25T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/09/buses-only-really/ Most of us know that bus lanes in NZ are fair game for “cycles”. cycling bus-lanes sport transport Mon, 26 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/09/buses-only-really/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-09-26T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/09/bus-lanes-%e2%80%93-buses-love-%e2%80%98em-but-they-could-be-better-for-bikes/ Wellington City Council are currently consulting on their bus priority plan. bus-lanes transport cycling sport Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/09/bus-lanes-%e2%80%93-buses-love-%e2%80%98em-but-they-could-be-better-for-bikes/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-08-31T00:00:00Z http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/08/wcc-consultation-on-courtenaykentcambridge-bus-lanes-proposal/ Wellington City Council would like your views on a proposed traffic resolution to extend the city’s network of bus lanes along Courtenay Place, Kent and Cambridge terraces and Adelaide Road.

Bus drivers not only have to deal with that, but they also have to deal with timetables, dispatchers, fare-zones, overhead power lines, cash and of course passengers, some of whom… I’m glad I don’t have to deal with. cycling transport sport Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://cyclingwellington.co.nz/2011/07/who-wants-to-drive-a-bus/ Cycling in Wellington 2011-07-14T00:00:00Z
