News that petrol has gone over $3 / litre will send many people to their garage to dig out their bike, dust it off, and consider seriously cycling to work. Many newbies will be interested but concerned - here's a great post about how to behave around them! www.bikeauckland.org.nz/news/welcome...

Welcome to the bike lane: how you can support the new riders joining us

With fuel costs rising, Auckland’s cycleways are busier than ever. How we ride determines whether these first timers feel empowered to keep going.

Part Two of a great two-part set of videos from Active Towns. In this one, we get commentary on Auckland's Meola Road cycleway, the power of modal filters, and more! If you're an Aucklander, pay attention to who you see in the footage riding on the bikeways. You might just see someone you know! 😁

Contrast this with the categorisation of Te Ara Tupuna (Petone-Wellington cycleway) as a cycleway, and paid for from the WK cycling budget even though the original project is a storm water protection infrastructure - with a cycleway on top.

What the 2026 French Mayor elections tell us about “bikelash” 🚲 The myth is: “Take space from cars, and you risk getting re-elected.” The reality is: In Paris, Lyon, and Montpellier, the leaders behind France's most ambitious cycling investments were just re-elected. 🧵👇

Now that the dust is beginning to settle around Local Body elections, the next step for CAN is to figure out how many pro-cycling candidates were elected around the motu! We know that many people care about cycling, and safe, comfortable, separated, connected cycling infra - let's push for it!

A reminder from our friends @bikeauckland.bsky.social Grab your vote and drop it off at your local council, library or supermarket. Your vote powers the pedals for safe separated connected cycling infrastructure everywhere!

Words - Your Vote Powers The Pedals. Your ride, your city, your say - return your ballot by 11 Oct!

With Local Body elections closing on Saturday, we here at CAN know that across the motu a slew of pro-cycling representatives will be elected. CAN advocates for safe, separated connected cycling infrastructure bc we know that works in giving people who cycle a choice about how they move around.

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 ! #VoteForBikes

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.

CAN supports the Department of Conservation's advice to Always Be Naturing! We do that every time we cycle out - to school, shops, coffee with friends! There will be millions of experiences by cyclists who experience nature - the harbour, the hill, the trees, wind. Keep Naturing! #VoteForBikes
