SUMMARY:Protecting Auckland's Transport  Future Together: targeted online letter-writing session with Bike Auckland
DESCRIPTION:Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland’s transport future is under threat\nCentral Government has funded less than the region’s expected amount toward future-focused transport modes – walking\, cycling and public transport. In fact\, they have removed all funding for new cycleways entirely\, providing just 1% of our region’s transport allocation to finish off existing cycleway projects in Tāmaki Makaurau. \nNo funding not only means that cycleway construction will stop\, even worse\, it also means no planning of future cycling infrastructure can take place. Cycling could simply be left out of the future of our city. \nAuckland Council must now decide which planned projects to continue with and in what areas they will backfill central Government’s shortfall. We desperately need our Councillors to represent people on bikes and fight for a resilient and sustainable city by choosing bikes. \nYour Councillors can’t make these decisions without hearing from residents – and that means you. Will you help them understand the need for safe cycling infrastructure? \nOur campaign to protect Auckland’s transport future is working!\nOver the last two weeks\, dozens of Bike Auckland members have been emailing our local councillors asking them to stand by their commitments to invest in cycling programmes and infrastructure\, now and into the future. Our hard work is working: Auckland Council has asked Auckland Transport to investigate funding option 4c\, one of the options more favourable to cycling. \nOur Councillors need to hear from you before the final decision\nWe know our campaign is working\, but we need all voices in the mix. If you’re in Albany\, Ōrākei or Manukau\, we’d especially love your help. \nWe’ve provided a simple cheat sheet and an example letter to help you email your Councillor. You can do this in your own time\, or join us for our targeted online group letter-writing session this Thursday.  \nClick here to join our online targeted letter-writing session this Thursday 17th\, 7:30-8:30pm. \nClick here to join our online targeted letter-writing session this Thursday 17th\, 7:30-8:30pm.

SUMMARY:Learn to pilot a tandem
DESCRIPTION:Learn to ride a tandem bike with people who are blind or have low vision. \nTandem pilots bring the joy of cycling to people who are blind or have low vision\, who may otherwise be excluded from cycling. Tandems benefit people with other disabilities too. For people who can’t cycle alone\, a tandem is a great solution. \nWhat is tandem piloting for people who are blind or have low vision?\nThe vision impaired rider or ‘stoker’ sits at the back of the tandem and provides muscle power. The pilot steers the tandem and rides in close communication with the stoker. \nAbout the session\nCome along to Silo Park where we’ll be using the safe space of the basketball courts for your 30-minute lesson on how to pilot a tandem. After your lesson\, you will have the opportunity for free practice on the tandem with the experienced stokers who are available to help. \nYou’ll also have the chance to meet a high performance tandem pairing who represent Aotearoa internationally at Para cycling competitions. \nBikes will be provided. Bring your helmet if you have one\, or use one of our spares. \nWhat can you do with your new tandem piloting skills?\nOnce trained\, you will be able to use your skills as a pilot rider with people in your own life\, or take up volunteer opportunities such as providing tandem piloting for vision impaired riders on group rides around our region\, recreationally or competitively in the Para sport space. \nHelp spread the word about this event\nUse this Learn to Pilot a Tandem event poster to share this event with your network.
