- Wellington Region Cycleways
- Here’s an infographic from Momentum Mag of how building separated cycle lanes in certain North American cities has unleashed pent up demand for cycling along those routes. Building quality cycle infrastructure seems to get bums on bike seats, which means less bums on car seats. They improve cyclist safety and reduce congestion. Smart cities build […]

Christchurch’s Cycle Design Guidelines
- Wellington Region Cycleways

It gives hope that we are going to end up with quality, safe cycle infrastructure in New Zealand cities. Now central government should come to the party, wind back the wasteful spending on its RoNS monstrosities […]

There just aren’t enough bicycle lockers in Wellington
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- You may be familiar with the style of bike locker that is used across the Wellington rail system. They are double ended, with a plywood divider diagonally across each block, hence what looks like 6 lockers can actually store 12 bikes. You can apply to hire one on a long term basis and here is […]

Why add lanes to Cobham Drive?
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- Anyone else think 6 lanes for cars on Cobham Drive is just overkill? There’s not that much stuff over on the Miramar Peninsula, and it’s not like people are missing planes at Welly airport because of heavy congestion. Is 6 lanes on an arterial road that is perfectly fine at 4 lanes indicative of […]

- Wellington Scoop
- Though I’m only occasionally asked about it, I’m aware of an underlying question in the cycling community about “why isn’t there more evidence of progress for cycling under a ‘green’ mayor?” Questions are also occasionally asked about how this all fits with overall transport planning
