Look what happens when you build protected bike lanes!

Instead of spending billions on new roads, the govt should build more protected bike lanes!

A Mt Vic tunnel for private vehicles is a bad idea. Why?
Induced traffic, opportunity cost, embedded carbon.
PT, walking, cycling and demand management solutions would work better and cost less.

Trees, not tunnels. Save the Town Belt. Today, volunteers planted trees near the Basin Reserve to show community opposition to Govt plans to ram a monster tunnel through the Wellington Town Belt.

Wellington mayoral candidates on bike lanes Each week we are asking the main mayoral candidates what they will do on key issues. This week: Retain, extend or reduce Wellington's current bike lane network?

Is this the dumbest objection to bike lanes ever?

I understand it's permitted for emergency vehicles to use a bike (or bus) lane if they are responding to an emergency. In that case I'd expect them to use lights / siren. @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social

This family of four wants to catch the train with their bikes - why can't they? The Miller family wants to take their bikes on Wellington’s trains, but weekend services from their local station have space for only three at a time.

Why can't Metlink run longer trains on weekends to meet demand? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social
