I am a daily bike commuter from Wadestown to Wellington CBD and often ride on the pedestrian roads as many don't have hard shoulders! I would love this city more if such space are created more especially in CBD areas!
I support sound investment of 4.3million towards cycling infrustructure. Mixing with traffic does not work. Unsafe practice for commuter cyclist. Young and old need to get back onto their bikes and experience the freedom and the joy of riding their bikes without the hassle of motor cares pushing them either off the road, or being tooted at. It is the quickest, smoothest method for moving around in an already cluttered transport city.
Pedestrian & cyclist rights (& awareness of pedestrians & cyclists) should be a chapter in the Rode Code & part of the driver licence tests
I recall cycling as a teenager [albeit 50years ago now!!] when cars were slower and traffic never scary. There was always a clear space for cycling then. That's all we need now is more clear space and road user consideration to ride our bikes. Also an economic thought : Every 12 kilometres traveled on a bike saves at least a litre of fossil fuel..
I would like to see traffic being re-routed out of the inner city and the city streets become liveable for pedestrians and cyclists. Safe cycle routes into the city from North, South and East will also make a huge difference in the increase of Everyday Cycling.
If Welly streets are too narrow for cycle lanes as we are told just look at many European cities which much narrower streets. How do they achieve a more cycle friendly city ? by prioritising cycling & public transport over cars - come on Wellington become a modern city not struck by out-dated priorities
