If you’ve been down Merton Road lately, you’ll have noticed something new and shiny — a protected cycle lane! This has been a long time coming. When Stage 1 of the Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive Shared Path (Te Ara Ki Uta Ki Tai) opened in 2016, the lack of safe links to and from the southern end was a glaring omission. It’s worth celebrating.
Thanks to the tireless drive of one keen mountain biker and her hard-working community, central east Auckland will be home to an incredible bike park one day soon.
Around the world, a curious and delightful trend has been making waves: people transforming their bicycles into fish. Fish bikes are a reminder that cycling can be playful, personal, and even a little surreal.
Charmaine updates the community on what the Ōrākei Local Board have specifically voted for or against, and invites you to write in!
Charmaine from Bike Eastern Suburbs shares her anticipation as a local for the network of protected cycleways that will be provided by the Links to Glen Innes Cycleways project. She encourages Auckland Transport to “get on with it”, so we can get riding for our A to B!
Roger Lacey, a volunteer at community group Bike Eastern Suburbs, has been recognised with the annual Trailblazer Award from Bike Auckland.
