Kia ora koutou - 

Meri Kirihimete to all our supporters.

Thanks for everyone’s support and involvement over what has been a huge year.

It was wonderful to have so many supporters celebrate the 30 year anniversary of our advocacy efforts. A huge effort has gone into making biking better in Poneke. The progress being made only comes about by the ongoing efforts of many people, communities, organisations, and professions.

Advocacy works. But we still have work to do to get more people on bikes more often.

We hope you have a great holiday and summer, and if you’re getting away we hope you can enjoy some great bike rides out there.

Recent goings on

Cycleway of the Month - Island Bay

This month we're checking out the popular and successful Island Bay cycleway.

What do you think of the new connection at the shops? How does it compare to the olden days of riding past angle parking and sharing with buses?

WCC

The roll out of the Karori Connections project continues. Early next year the final section of bike improvements from St Teresa's School to Karori Park will be installed. Find out more.

Go By Bike Day will not be run next year. Council is unwilling to coordinate or fund at this time. Reasons include low funds, and reservations about what value the event delivers.

Evans Bay Stage one expected to be finished by Christmas. Early works on Stage Two - a sea wall at Hataitai Beach starting this summer.

Work continues in Berhampore early next year including work on Luxford Street.

Council are still working on planning primary routes of the network including for Brooklyn Road.

Eastern Connections / Te Motu Kairangi - Falls in a grey area due to LGWM funding mix-ups. Two projects that overlap (PP and LGMW). Timing for these pushed back 3 years.
