Cycling stuff with a Wellington slant

"It's lucky he was looking. If he'd been on his phone or something, it could have been a tragic accident, because without the street lights you just can't see anything."

How about slowing the heck down then?

Amazing lack of self responsibility and blame-apportioning on the vulnerable road user.

"Karori resident Ellie Bauer said she nearly hit a pedestrian on Tuesday evening because they were wearing dark clothing."

@NZTAWgtn Is it also COMPLETELY blocking the footpath/ sorry excuse for a bike lane? Is that worth a mention perhaps?

[Cycle-Wire @CycleWire]

Some truly dumb comments on this article, even by stuff’s standards. ‘Doctors, what do they know?!’ https://t.co/nBb3QblCNg

[Cycle-Wire @CycleWire]

Yet again a hopeless sentence for a driver who killed a cyclist. Why was the charge not death caused by careless driving? Defence had gall to argue carelessness was at "lower end of the scale" - someone DIED FFS! https://t.co/5q4SfEAvK2

Latest 'How I..' blog for cycling fans. Ironic post really since I stuffed up the last couple of these I raced: https://t.co/6yyKT1Efjb #trackcycling #velodrome

[Cycle-Wire @CycleWire]

@NZStuff given your usual protocol for reporting vehicle and cyclist crashes, shouldn't this be 'pedestrian collides with bicycle'? https://t.co/LJfJ8uRYex

@markhobson For everyone's safety, buildings should be removed from the sides of roads.

[Cycle-Wire @CycleWire]

It is truly amazing how many motorists manage to crash into buildings: https://t.co/6nxsjRObAW

[Cycle-Wire @CycleWire]

Why, @DomPost , is it ALWAYS a cyclist who collides with a car and not the other way round? Do you see how that phrasing seems to assign blame? https://t.co/SSf7XI35h7

"Cyclists don't follow the road rules and blah de blah.." They don't do this though do they? https://t.co/CUeLfEI51F

@mccaffreydanie1 @IBCycleWay So are commas apparently. But anyway, build people decent alternatives and they will use and like that too, which will do more for congestion than new signal sequences (which I agree, are very often shite). https://t.co/PJDIEz2Ac3

[Barry Page (a parody of virtue) @electricbazza]

We're going to need a bigger bike path soon #friding https://t.co/WMNE2iailY

[Cycle-Wire @CycleWire]

@mccaffreydanie1 @IBCycleWay Lol, people don't melt in the rain, and there's also PT which should be a priority for development. Or are you saying everything is 'just fine', and congestion isn't an issue?

[Cycle-Wire @CycleWire]

@mccaffreydanie1 @IBCycleWay Ebikes and jackets. There's just not enough room in Wellington for everyone to be travelling around in mobile versions of their living room for every journey.

[Cycle-Wire @CycleWire]

@mccaffreydanie1 @IBCycleWay Yes you're right. We need to get heaps more people onto bikes, because as you say, there are thousands of people in cars, which is a massively inefficient use of road space.

So popular, evidence indeed that people will cycle if they feel safe.

Such a popular spot, evidence people will cycle if they feel safe.
