Wellington Bike Life is a series of profiles of people who ride bikes in Wellington. Today we meet ACC manager Kirsten Malpas.

"I've been commuting for 16 or17 years, and the changes made to Thorndon Quay have been absolutely fantastic.
I like being able to get where I want to, when I want to. It ticks all the boxes of being good for me, good for the planet, and saves me money.
It's just easy and I've very much got into the routine of doing it."
"I think the Council should keep on doing what it's doing. You've got to be brave, because sometimes things aren't popular, but they are the right thing to do. So just keep pushing on and making biking and public transport better for everybody in Wellington."
