Cycle Wellington - making biking better in Wellington.

We are calling on Wellington City Council, Waka Kotahi, and KiwiRail to improve the shared path on Old Hutt Road. People who will be using the soon to open Te Ara Tupua path need a safe and attractive continuation of this soon to be iconic seaside path.

Here at CAN, we know that every car trip replaced by bicycle brings benefits to our budget, and to our sense of well-being - it’s all part of the #CyclingMagic. If you experience that Cycling Magic, how about encouraging your work mates? It’s the last week to pop your vote back in the voting box!

That #CyclingMagic - jump on the bike, head to the game, and you're warmed up! And it's a great way for kids to head to the soccer, or rugby, or swimming!

With about 7,500 sports clubs across the motu, there's lots of opportunities to #CycleToTheGame !

Bike charities and loan schemes in Wellington are in demand, and the clientele is increasingly shifting towards middle class wage-earners.

Grabbing a water bottle, she unlocked the bike, and set off down the drive. The clouds scudded across the sky, the wind was fresh, and she noticed the new spring growth. She breathed deeply, and there it was again - that old cycling magic; it never failed to arrive.

At CAN, lower speeds in our local communities is not negotiable. We recognise the benefits it brings to all road users, including cyclists. Safe, connected, separated cycling infrastructure includes lower speeds.

Vote for candidates who supports lower speeds on your local streets.

Got your voting papers? Here's a voting guide from @cyclewgtn.bsky.social
WCC has made massive progress on Wellington’s bike network, with good public support. But all that is at risk this election, with some candidates wanting to rip out bike lanes.

It's part of that #CyclingMagic - on your bike you can pop down to a local cafe, to the bookstore, the gym because you can. You don't have to worry about finding a car park, or the traffic, or the sheer stress of driving - all those evaporate when you jump on your bike.

Biking is a fun and easy way to get more exercise in your life. You’ll feel & look better when you regularly jump on your bike to go to work, to the shops, to the beach, and at CAN we stand behind that promise!

As Ruth from Spokes Dunedin pointed out earlier this year, good bicycle parking at supermarkets makes all the difference! As many people noted, there is variability in the standard of bike parking at supermarkets; 1/n
