Being a pedestrian in a car oriented city
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- 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
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- 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
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- 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 […]

The small engine menace and what we can do about it
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- This is a cross post with my other blog – Clean Air New Zealand. The ideas in this post have been kicking around in my brain for a while, but the thing that is spurring me into action is this post at Crikey’s Urbanist Blog by Alan Davies “Can scooters make our cities work better?” […]

Hawkes Bay Rides
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- 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. […]

The Failure of Australasian Conservative Governments on Transport
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- Excuse me this post. I am an Australian living in New Zealand (yes the opposite of the normal story. I’m part of the backwash.) But it’s worth keeping an eye on what is happening west of the Tasman as what is happening in New Zealand is happening in Australia too. In what sounds awfully familiar, […]

Nice frequent transport map of Wellington
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- I came across this handsome map by Brett Palmer entitled Wellington City Frequent Transport. Comparing it to the proposed bus network coming soon it looks that the only change needed on this map is a new line to Brooklyn and Kingston.

International Take a Sickie and Ride Your Bike Day
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- 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
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- 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. […]

The Capital choking on traffic congestion due to the RoNSzi scheme
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- Today there was a bit of a hoo haa in the local press about the Arup and Opus report that the Greater Wellington Council commissioned on the effects of the RoNS on the Wellington region, but then embarrassingly the GWRC has been trying to ignore ever since. It seems that the Airport to Levin corridor […]

Cycling in Tunnels safely
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- 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.

Unleashing pent up demand for cycling by building separated cycle lanes
- 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

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 […]

San Francisco and Bay cities now have bikeshare

Bixi is now known as the Public Bike System Company. In Wellington bike share coupled with greenlaning some separated cycle lanes through the […]
