A plea: report ALL bike and scooter crashes 🙏 It’s a sad fact that safer street design often comes only after crashes. Your minor crash may mean the street is improved, and someone else’s major crash never happens. https://www.bikeauckland.org.nz/news/a-plea-report-all-bike-and-scooter-crashes/

👀 Riders on the NW Shared Path who cross Carrington Road, your crossing has moved. Turn north (toward Pt Chev peninsula) instead of the usual south (toward Mt Albert) to cross Carrington Road at the temporary crossing. Watch out for directions and signage telling you where to cross - it may change.

Construction has begun on the Carrington Road Improvement Project ✨ Watch out for: ⚠️ NW Path raised crossing is moving. ⚠️ Sharing the lane with cars (speed limit is 30 kmh). ⚠️ Very bumpy surface - not suitable for thin tyres. Our advice: if you can take a different route, do that. #cycling

⚠️ Take extra care cycling on Upper Queen Street 👀 The cycle lane separators have been removed from Upper Queen Street in preparation for asphalt resurfacing. The separators will be back once the resurfacing is complete. Cars are mistakenly parking where the bike lane should be. Go carefully.

In a mixed bag of success and disappointment, Auckland Transport will still build the Rā Hihi cycleway but it will now be bidirectional to make space for an extra general traffic lane. The full story 👇 https://www.bikeauckland.org.nz/news/ra-hihi-pakuranga-cycleway-to-be-built-now-bidirectional/

Opinion: NZ’s laws are outdated and don’t reflect the range of micromobility devices used today. A high profile accident may result in a knee-jerk law change that would affect everyone on an e-bike. How watts and laws intersect👇 https://www.bikeauckland.org.nz/news/we-need-to-talk-about-e-motos/
