Bikes on Buses in the draft GWRC Long Term Plan
- Cycling in Wellington
- 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.

The obligatory election commentary
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- On Saturday this site has to go off-line for the day so to stay within the electoral laws (I don’t understand why, and it seems pretty dumb to me) and I hope you all turn the voting experience into a positive activity, by walking or cycling to your nearest booth and casting your ballots.

Mandatory helmets, cycling policies and who to vote for.
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- The good people at Helmet Freedom have taken perhaps the inevitable step of subtitling the Fall of Berlin movie, noting the failure of the Melbourne and Brisbane helmet schemes especially in regards to mandatory bike helmets.

Rimutaka Incline Railway Group proposes reinstating steam train to Manhattan’s High Line
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- If you haven’t noticed there’s been a bit of an interesting (and sometimes ugly) debate about the Rimutaka Incline Railway group who want to destroy the Rimutaka Rail Trail for cyclists and their upcoming proposal to the GWRC Cultural and Social Wellbeing Committee.

Rubbish in cycle lanes survey
- Cycling in Wellington
- I ride around the Oriental/Evans Bay route quite a bit, and while there’s not usually much in the way of glass on the road there’s often gravel on the curve of Point Jerningham and broken mussel shells in the cycle paths from seagulls being clever about getting a feed.
