As we all know, people regularly make these sorts of comments online encouraging violence against cyclists, often attached to their real identities, and there are rarely consequences. I'm glad to see someone being held accountable because this type of dehumanizing language has real consequences.

"It’s amazing how I’m able to ride around on a bike. People kind of see it’s me but since I’m on a bike, they think, ‘No, it’s not her.’ And by the time they realize it’s me, I’m already gone. It’s great to do something normal every day. It keeps me grounded.” - Beyoncé

TBF, if you're a star and don't want to be seen, you go by bicycle, because nobody sees bicycles...

People are more likely to ditch the car and use an e-bike if they feel confident and safe

An e-bike is a good start. But training, guided rides and social connection give people the confidence to keep using them.

If you’re ever lost in the wilderness, just build a cycle path because someone is bound to pull up in their car and park in it.

Allowing kids and their parents to bike on footpaths is common sense. This will lower risk to people on footpaths. It will permit parents, and Bike Ready instructors to teach children safe and courteous footpath cycling. We can't do that now because it's unlawful. www.nzta.govt.nz/projects-and...

Impressive achievement to set a new cycling record across Europe. I note the previous record was old-school self-supported - respect to @ianwalker.bsky.social velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-ge...

"my interest in cycling is purely primitive... I’m gliding through air, while also knowing it was my resilience that got me there. I like getting from A to B on the most picturesque route possible while being able to periodically say “weeeee” as I go real fast." @@cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Wellington loves biking. Thanks Bicycle Junction and Wellington City Council.

I led a group e-biking along Wellington's new Te Ara Tupua path today. They all came back with smiles. Many expressed a desire to acquire an e-bike. #ebikegrin @cyclewgtn.bsky.social

Today, I managed to cycle all the way to Lower Hutt from my apartment in Newtown, Wellington. It's about 20km and I was able to use cycle lanes and/or shared paths for pretty much the whole way there! I didn't think I'd be able to do this in my lifetime, and I'm absolutely stoked.

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.

Bike lanes generate huge benefits: safety, easy travel, cleaner air, less congestion, cost savings, fun. But WCC plans to cancel bike lane projects. Please tell them what you want, by Sunday 10th. Here's a submission guide from Cycle Wellington www.cyclewellington.org.nz/annual_plan_...
