Getting a lot of flak for riding my bike to work today 😲 Pointed out it was actually a fun ride - warm and dry is overrated! - and besides, it's that kind of car-brained attitude which is causing all this rain, doncha think? 😉 #ClimateActionNow 🚲🌏

Hey @AklTransport don’t block the cycle lane with your b****y signs 🤬😩 New North Rd, Mt Albert shopping centre

I haven’t seen negative worldwide headlines about haka.

I have seen negative headlines about our Govt’s climate denial policies, cancelling our world leading smokefree policy, dangerous policies on road safety that are against international best practice & will kill more people

This study: bike lanes are good for business.
That study: bike lanes are good for business.
And another study: bike lanes are good for business.

Americans: we need another study.

The Ghost Bike Art Installation in Auckland’s city centre draws attention to the deaths and serious injuries that will be the result of reversing the safer speeds laws (increasing roads to 50km/h in many areas where reduced to 30km/h for safety reasons) 😭 #saferspeeds

[Bike Auckland @BikeAKL]

59 bikes. 59 lives. Thousands left grieving.

Each ghost bike represents a person on a bike killed in NZ.

In almost all cases, lower speed limits would have reduced the harm.

It’s like The Dance of Death, this pretence among the money-makers and world-shapers that nothing is happening to our planet.

@UrbanCourtyard @BrentToderian Yes! + we need to get better at how we do this:
Meet people where they are, not where you want them to be
Listen for the genuine worries beneath reactive positions
Share personal stories instead of arguing statistics
Remember that change happens through relationship, not rhetoric

Gotta love the irony of the company name 🙃 "Access Problems" is more appropriate 🤣 Plus usual rudeness from the driver "I can park where I like!" "It's only for 5 mins" "Who are you to tell me what to do" "where am I supposed to park"😣

[Richard Hills @RichardHills_]

URGENT. Please be on the look out for Mikyla. Police would like to know any information urgently. Talk to your kids as well. Someone will know information about her whereabouts.

Please call 111 or Crime Stoppers 0800 555 111.

Last seen on Gladstone Rd which is off Onewa Road.

93% of NZ garages are carpeted, filled with storage, kids’ toys, gym equipment and assorted household bits.
“Everything except for the car. Where do you park the car?” Duh - on the street/public property of course 😠 #PrivateCarStorage

EV's are about saving the car-industry, they won't make our cities liveable.

[Russell Brown @publicaddress]

It's funny how we marvel at giant bike-parking facilities in cities like Amsterdam, but forget there used to be lots of those places in New Zealand. (Burnside High, Christchurch, 1986)

Our kids are worth more than 14 seconds: Forced safer speed reversal will cost lives.

Hey Aucklanders. We have a lost puppy that has been handed into the clinic. Around four months old. Newfoundland. Please retweet and help me find the owner.

[Michael Schneider @schneider]

No matter how my day is going, biking with my 4-year old back from her school makes it all better.

My girls are the reason I fight so hard for safer streets. This should be normal. It can be with the right infrastructure.
