Getting Waitakere [Hospital] on bikes

When people talk about “travel plans” for companies or organisations, too often the process never moves beyond a few well-intentioned brochures telling people why they should switch to bikes, walk to work or use car pooling / public transport. But people’s habits don’t change easily, and some good words normally ain’t enough.

So it’s great to see initiatives where interested “maybe” folks get active encouragement and assistance to try something new, and stick with it. Like riding to work by bike – in this case to Waitakere Hospital.
