    • This website is now defunct.
      • As long time followers may have noticed this website is now defunct. I haven’t made a post in a couple of years. If I had you’d think I’d have posted about things such at the Island Bay cycleway and the Hutt Rd deshamozzalisation, but alas time moves on, and so have I. May the Wellingtonians on bikes keep riding safely and happily. And may the stupidest mayoralty candidates all lose. I’ll delete it properly in a month or two, or when I remember. If there’s anything you want to copy off then do so kind of now.

    • Come ride your bike across the watery bits of Auckland
      • It’s been quite a hiatus on the Wellington Regional Cycleways blog. My working life has been taking up most of my life and I haven’t been on my bike for a while. In the interim I’ve invented a board game, Harbour Bridges, which is now live on Kickstarter. It is a light-medium network connection game, suitable as a family game, or as a filler game for hobby board gamers. It has a double sided board, with Sydney Harbour on one side, and Auckland on the other. The idea is to build bridges across the harbours, and then to race your cyclist pawns to your destination suburbs quicker than your opponents can race their cyclist pawns to their destination suburbs. There’s a how to play video and the final rulebook available on the Kickstarter page. I know it’s not Wellington, but Auckland, (and Sydney to boot), but come have a look, pledge to help it get funded, and then wait a few months for it to be manufactured and shipped to your door, and you’ll have a fun, interesting, and deceptively strategic game to play with kids and adults. And the artwork is fantastic too:        

    • Being a pedestrian in a car oriented city
      • You might remember my post of last year about Salt Lake City and how it was building light rail and putting in cycle share. I’d like to share with you an experience of another western American city, Las Vegas. This is the details of a couple of walks I did through Las Vegas’s suburbs. This […]

    • The Low Hanging Fruit of the Kapiti Coast
      • I had to go do something at Coastlands and it was a nice day for a ride so I thought I’d ride down and take some photos of the new bike lanes around Rimu Road. I started from Waikanae Beach and crossed the bridge to Otaihanga, which now a sign says it is ok for […]

    • Some good election results for cycling
      • There are some good results for cycling in the region with Celia Wade-Brown re-elected as Mayor in Wellington. This term is hopefully going to be more productive than the last since there are some fresh faces on council including new Greens councillors Sarah Free and David Lee. Well done to them all. Cr. Paul Bruce […]

    • Hawkes Bay Rides
      • A few moons ago I did a little ride up Hawkes Bay way from Havelock North to Napier, and in the years since they’ve spent a bit of money and improved cycle infrastructure considerably. Hastings has made a considerable effort in improving on-road cycling around the town. Here’s a map of most of the rides. […]

    • International Take a Sickie and Ride Your Bike Day
      • Historically many cities have Ride a Bike to Work Days. Wellington has had them before (and is having another one in February I think). Washington DC too. They are generally good fun, and you might get a good breakfast, meetup with a few thousand other cyclists and still get to work on time. For the […]

    • What Riddiford Street could look like
      • This is definitely worth drawing attention to. As I said on my post about the Island Bay cycle routes I am of the opinion that there should be separated cycleways up Adelaide Road and up Riddiford Street (amongst many others). At the Sexify Blog they’re much of the same opinion, at least about Riddiford Street. […]

    • Cycling in Tunnels safely
      • What do the Kelburn, Northland and Seatoun tunnels have in common? They were all featured in a post I did 4 years ago, called Cycling in Wellington’s Tunnels, They were all built originally for trams, And they’d all benefit from two signs at each of their entrances.

    • Island Bay cycle routes
      • The good news is that Wellington City Council is consulting on a preferred safe cycle route between the city and Island Bay. Cycling Aware Wellington organised a successful public meeting to garner local support and got quite a turnout. To get a good feel for the ride between the Island Bay and town have a […]

    • Christchurch’s Cycle Design Guidelines
      • If you’ve not seen the Christchurch City Council’s Cycle Design Guidelines yet they make for some very interesting reading. 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 […]
