Flashback Saturday: The Victoria St Linear Park: Why it is vital, but not really a park.
Every weekend we dig into the archives. This post by Patrick was originally published in October 2016.
This is one of a series of posts I intend to do about about the city streetscape we ought to be able to expect as a result of the CRL rebuild.…
4 Comments Wheelly good growth on the cycleways
February is bike month and often the busiest month time of the year for people riding bikes. As such it’s a good time to look at the numbers to see how we’re progressing. Are the bike lanes empty, like Mike Hosking and some of his friends often like to claim or are they being used?…

Seville’s Bike Lane Network
Seville, in Spain, have built an impressive network of bike lanes remarkably quickly in recent years. Streetfilms made a great video that explains how this was done: Some thing that really stand out are: The speed of progress. The first 80 kilometres of lanes were put in place in a mere 18 months.…
Limiting Lime Scooters to 10kph
A couple of days ago Stuff reported that the government was considering limiting the speed of Lime scooters on footpaths to 10 kph, as part of a broader suite of changes.
Work is under way on law changes that will impose a 10kmh speed limit for Lime electric scooters, with the Government set to consult on the new rules early this year…

Flashback Saturday – Now connect them
Over the holiday break we’ll dig into the archives a bit. This post by Peter was originally published in February 2015.
The other week, the NZ Herald printed a good article on seven secret cycleways in Auckland. We covered it in last week’s Sunday reading post, but I thought it was worth adding a few more words on the topic.…
The year of the e-scooter
It’s now the holiday season so expect shorter, and fewer, posts over the next couple of weeks.
I think when we look back at 2018 in transport circles, it will be thought of as the year of the e-scooter. Citylab have a really good summary of how e-scooters exploded around the world this year, including a fair run down of some of their key issues.…
