@Wilde_Leafy Yay! Keep the pressure up! I would love to be able to commute to work over the bridge on my bike before I retire!👍

[Rachel Barnes @Rachel26Barnes]

@shananhalbert @michaelwoodnz Yay! Now we just need to connect it to and over the harbour bridge! #liberatethelane

[Rachel Barnes @Rachel26Barnes]

@theambulator @Colin_TBTAMC 🤣

[Rachel Barnes @Rachel26Barnes]

So, that is the entire Saturday service on this route canceled. If we could ride over the bridge, this wouldn’t matter - but I can’t use an Uber to take my bike #liberatethelane ⁦@BikeAKL⁩ ⁦@shananhalbert⁩ ⁦@RichardHills_⁩

[Rachel Barnes @Rachel26Barnes]

Absolutely!! You aren’t “stuck in traffic” you are traffic! Auckland is much nicer by bike!😘🚴‍♀️

For all those drivers wondering why their commute is taking longer than normal - welcome back to March Madness... Why not join me & Dougal and get on ya bike 🚲🐕 🌏#ClimateActionNow

@AlecTang_ So satisfying to zip past a line of cars! That alone puts me in a good mood for the day! :)

Yes!!!

Two thirds of people surveyed would walk or cycle across the Auckland Harbour bridge.

Imagine how many cars that would take off the road, freeing up space for the remainder.

Unblock the bridge, and open a full time lane to walkers and cyclists @WakaKotahiAkNth @AklTransport

⁦@RichardHills_⁩ ⁦@DARBY4Shore⁩ How is this ok? The ferry services are struggling enough without being cancelled at rush hour due to cruise ships!

[Rachel Barnes @Rachel26Barnes]

@shananhalbert @Camilla_Belich @traceymclellan Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll be great 👍 😊

Kia ora, I hope you’re all doing okay. This is a really rough time for our community especially for those who have tragically lost love ones in this disaster. My thoughts are with their whānau.

When I heard there were timetable changes coming, I hoped that we were going back to a more frequent service, but they have made it worse! How is a service every 75 minutes useful at peak commuting time?@shananhalbert @RichardHills @DARBY4Shore

[Rachel Barnes @Rachel26Barnes]

@publicaddress @soul_scourer There is a ferry to Birkenhead you could take your bike on. :)

My 23rd patient today was a toddler with a cough and runny nose. He has been having symptoms, off and on, for three weeks. Mom is so tired. Her friend's son went to urgent care, got an antibiotic, and got better. This mom would like one for her son, too. 1/7
