Wellington Bike Life is a series of profiles of people who ride bikes in Wellington. Today we meet Ron Beernink, who lives in Petone and bikes to downtown Wellington.
"The reason I love biking is I'm near retirement and feeling fitter than I ever have been."

"What I also love is the friendliness of a lot of motorists these days, who actually appreciate cyclists, who really take care of us. It's actually wonderful and makes my day. 
"Bowen Street is still quite a hostile environment for cyclists and also for walkers. It needs to become a shared space."
