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

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.

Bicycle parking at Newtown Festival
Coming to Newtown by bike for the big festival tomorrow? Thanks to @WCC bike lanes, you can get here easily. @cyclewgtn.bsky.social
We trust that our current leaders in council work to expose this disinformation for what it is and demonstrate their commitment to making PΕneke 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 Wellingtonβs 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 donβt 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 doesnβt happen again.
Wellington and bikes go together
You can't beat Wellington on a bike day. Let's celebrate. Join us at Queen's Wharf for Go By Bike Day tomorrow 7.30-9am. www.eventfinda.co.nz/2026/go-by-b... @cyclewgtn.bsky.social @cyclingactionnz.bsky.social
We deserve better. This piece from @cyclewgtn.bsky.social calls for affordable transport solutions: (de)congestion charging, bus lanes, bike lanes wellington.scoop.co.nz?p=177146
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.

We are calling on Wellington City Council, Waka Kotahi, and KiwiRail to improve the shared path on Old Hutt Road. People who will be using the soon to open Te Ara Tupua path need a safe and attractive continuation of this soon to be iconic seaside path.

Here at CAN, we know that every car trip replaced by bicycle brings benefits to our budget, and to our sense of well-being - itβs all part of the #CyclingMagic. If you experience that Cycling Magic, how about encouraging your work mates? Itβs 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 mΔ 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
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.

Text says "Wouldn't it be nice to have... slower traffic speeds keeping everyone safer. Vote For Bikes. Cycling Action Network, Pae te haere maa Pahikara" Graphics show a bicycle with a dog in the front basket, along with a stylised VOTE tick in the front wheel, a speed limit sign showing 30 Kph, and a large faded question mark in the background.
At CAN, lower speeds in our local communities is not negotiable. We recognise the benefits it brings to all road users, including cyclists. Safe, connected, separated cycling infrastructure includes lower speeds.
Vote for candidates who supports lower speeds on your local streets.

WCC has made massive progress on Wellingtonβs bike network, with good public support. But all that is at risk this election, with some candidates wanting to rip out bike lanes.
