Cycling helmets: do we need them? A cycling advocate says cycle helmets are deterring people from taking up cycling.

What the world can learn from Paris’s cycling revolution The Paris cycling change did not happen by accident. It was driven by political will, strategic use of data, and a willingness to rethink street space.

What role climate change may have played in recent weather For years climate scientists have warned us to expect more extreme weather - now, it seems, we're living through it. Chris Brandolino is a Principal Scientist at Earth Sciences New Zealand, formally N...

Moar micromobility for Wellington. Gonna need more bike lanes.

Embrace the Bikelash, experts say.
Keep your chin up, Doug.

Wild weather in pictures: North Island reels under torrential rain, flooding From Northland to Gisborne, communities are scrambling to keep themselves and their possessions safe against the weather.

I wonder if RNZ can run an entire news cycle on extreme weather without mentioning climate change? #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

We deserve better. This piece from @cyclewgtn.bsky.social calls for affordable transport solutions: (de)congestion charging, bus lanes, bike lanes wellington.scoop.co.nz?p=177146

I wonder how this would affect the NZ movie industry and workers? Are workers unionised? Would the NZ Govt continue to offer subsidies for AI content?

Paging Don McGlashan ...

Agree. There's a gap in the bike network between Crawford Rd and Rintoul St. Call your councillors and ask them to fix this.

So much infrastructure just crams bikes and pedestrians together which really only works if there aren’t many of either. Increasing the number of folks on e-bikes highlights the problems.

Weekend heat: Ice-creams, swimming pools and cancelled tours There were a few solutions to the scorching weather over the weekend: "All of the people here are jumping into our pools half-naked because it's just too warm."

I wonder if RNZ can report a series of extreme weather stories without mentioning climate change? #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Opinion: Why more urban cycling saves everyone money | Urbanized The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath
