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 […]

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.

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. […]

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.

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 […]

Repeat Drunk-Drivers should not be on the road
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- It is with absolute horror that I read today (in the Dom Post) that Kenneth Morgan, a Tawa man with 23 convictions and an “indefinite ban”, has been given his driver’s license back.

Is it time to dust off Wellington’s 2004 Gehl Report?
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- Is it time to dust off for a reread the Danish firm, Gehl Architects’ 2004 Report for Wellington’s City to Waterfront Study? The NZTA are often accused of sham public consultations and then doing whatever they want, and that may well be the case for what they are now calling The Tunnel to Tunnel Inner City Transport Improvements.

Could you cycle in Masterton in winter?
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- Could you cycle in this? Could you cycle in a town as fouled as Masteron in winter on a still night? The picture above is from the Wairarapa Mail’s July 2012 story on Masterton smog levels.

Please help the NZTA with understanding Petone to Ngauranga
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- I can’t quite believe that they really need to ask, when the obvious solution is a separated waterfront cycle path and walkway on the east side of the railway line, but the NZTA is looking for feedback at this Survey Monkey address for what the Petone to Ngauranga cycle link should be.

Sandhills Motorway cycleway provisions
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- The NZTA has released a video with a fly-through of the proposed Kapiti Expressway/Sandhills Motorway/ Mackays to Peka Peka route: Here are my observations of what I can see in the video with regards to the cycling provisions: The cyclepath seems to follow close to the motorway along the bottom of the Raumati Escarpment north of Mackay’s Crossing.

Micro-ferries for Porirua Harbour
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- It seems Wellington Region’s public transport system is falling apart, with the GWRC busily working out how to shed hard-earned ridership, when it should be doing the opposite.

Wellington’s best set of stairs
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- So where provision has actually been made and there is some quality pedestrian infrastructure then it can be celebrated. For instance there is a great set of stairs to get up to Amritsar St in Khandallah.
