As people who are pro-cycling, we often talk about creating a bicycle culture and what that would mean for NZ. But what would a bicycle culture in NZ really look like?
An answer for me came in the way of Luke Christensen’s great Twitter photo on the right here showing the overflowing cycle parking at the University of Auckland.
It brought to mind the old bike sheds at school (an experience that Millenials have largely been denied). It also invoked memories from the Netherlands and Denmark of the cycle parking “problem” (a problem those countries are glad to have!) around popular cycling destinations like railway stations.
Let’s dig ourselves out of this auto dependent hole and get people on the ultimate urban travel machine, a bicycle!
