Wish you were there – Video postcard from Friday night
- Cycling in Wellington
- Some people have reasons. Some people have excuses. Some people just didn’t even know about it. And now, through the magic of the internet, all of you can live vicariously through a condensed version of Friday evening’s critical mass ride. Hopefully you can all join us next time. As awesome as the video is, being there was way more awesome. Totally.

Bus/Bike workshop – What did we learn?
- Cycling in Wellington
- Want to see a bus driver sweat? Watch them ride a bicycle through a multi-lane roundabout. Want to see a cyclist sweat? Watch them drive a 12+ meter, 12 tonne bus around a parking lot.

- Cycling in Wellington
- If I understood cricket, this would be a witty cricket joke relevant to the flyover.

Who wants to drive a bus?
- Cycling in Wellington
- Who wants to drive a bus? As a cyclist, I know all too well how inattentive/impatient motorists and inattentive/impatient pedestrians behave on our streets. 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.

Bike parking in Wellington: it’s boring
- Cycling in Wellington
- It’s not that easy to design a functional, interesting bike rack that comes at a reasonable cost. 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.
