Cycling Action Network are encouraging people to email Hon Chris Bishop (Chris.[address removed]) about the bikes on buses ban. There's been a trial of secure bike racks inside buses in Auckland which looks to have been successful and might be a good solution.

Most Saturday mornings I put this on and head out to do Parkrun. I hope it encourages others to think about such choices ❤️🚴👏

Hi,

Thanks in advance.

Isn't it interesting that, in sports-mad New Zealand, many people think it's absurd to get on a bike and ride three blocks to the dairy, when you could just drive? I mean, who would do that?!

That’s a great story Kenneth. My Dad was also a keen cyclist, took me on a cycle sidecar around the then mostly unmade roads of the far north of Scotland (where my Mum was from) when I was less than 2 years old. But gave me the cycling bug long before he passed away.

kenneth armstrong It's funny how my Dad who I loved dearly his passing became a positive rather than negative thanks for sharing your story 😊
