I’m pleased to read of the separate route on other side of river because as a commuting cyclist I doubt I’d use example above. 10kph is really slow for commuting. Unless the average Chch persons tolerance and acceptance of others improves hugely & rapidly I anticipate riding there is bound to be user conflicts. Also between pedestrians & skaters. The pedestrians will (rightly?) assume they have absolute right of way & they won’t even think about slow wheeled transport around them. Anticipate many near misses with young & elderly. Going to take months or years until Chch is like other more accepting countries already with multimode routes. It looks great for pedestrians though. Much improved over the ‘old CBD’
