Start with the easiest win. Completing Wellington's popular bike lane network would enable more people to get around by bike and avoid high fuel costs. Let's do this. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social
I'm headed to Tāmaki Makaurau this weekend to attend CANDo 2026! There's a lot going on for #cycling at the moment. A lot of people are suddenly talking about how to save on #transport costs. Come join me to get stuck in and get more people on #bikes more often! www.can.org.nz/cando2026
New Zealand's #carDependency has been a massive liability for decades. Most just put it off, or in the too hard basket. Some work to exploit it. theconversation.com/iran-oil-cri...

Cycling is under attack. Wellington City Council is moving to give up on building out much of the emerging #bike network, and other critical #climateAction work. We need to keep them on the right path. Sign and share. action.greens.org.nz/wcc_petition

WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown and all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by #NotJustBikes with #Urban3 & @strongtowns.bsky.social. And PLEASE SHARE it as much as possible. I’ve sent it to a LOT of politicians.
