Avoid pain at the pump.

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

Wellington’s bike lane buildout is at risk. We can do something. If you care about Wellington taking climate action, you have to tell our city councillors ahead of a vote on Thursday. Contact councillors to support climate action On Friday last week, Wellington C...

Labour councillors told us climate change demands urgent action. Now that bike lanes are at risk, we must remind them of that promise.

Stop the Climate Cuts

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.

February 2026 Newsletter

We trust that our current leaders in council work to expose this disinformation for what it is and demonstrate their commitment to making Pōneke the great cycling city it is becoming.

Some groups have been attempting to push the false narrative that the disastrous situation with wastewater at Moa Point is in some way connected to Wellington’s excellent recent work to roll out better and safer cycling facilities.

We also expect our leaders to persevere with making our streets safer for everyone to get around our city in healthy ways. We don’t need to choose between safe water and safe ways of getting around. We need both.

Like all Wellingtonians, we're dismayed by the situation the Moa Point failure has created. We trust that our leaders will work to identify the true causes behind this failure and deliver solutions that ensure this doesn’t happen again.

Wellington and bikes go together

New Old Hutt Road Path

Living Streets Aotearoa endorses the new vision that Cycle Wellington @cyclewgtn.bsky.social proposes for the Old Hutt Road Path. It is a shared path for cyclists and pedestrians, and with upcoming changes to the cycle network, there are likely to be more cyclists on the path in the next few years.

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!

Wouldn't it be nice to have... more folks cycling to play weekend sports. Vote For Bikes. Cycling Action Network Pae te haere mā Pahikara. Image shows a netball hoop, a rugby ball, a soccer ball, and cricket stumps. There's a Childs bike and another bike with a 'voting tick' coming out of the front wheel.

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 getting more people cycling as transport costs rise Bike charities and loan schemes in Wellington are in demand, and the clientele is increasingly shifting towards middle class wage-earners.

Words say "Wouldn't it be nice to have... comfortable, safe space to enjoy that cycling magic" with "Vote For Bikes, Cycling Action Network, Pae te haere maa pahikara". and an image of a stylised bike with a voting tick coming out of the front wheel, and a smaller kids bike behind. There is a traffic sign saying 'bike lane'. There is a large faded question mark in the background.

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.

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.
