It is really wonderful to see that the bad press cycle lanes receive in terms of affecting retail are actually untrue. Hopefully this excellent article will alleviate some of the negativity towards cycle lanes and cyclists in general. I feel that the topic of cycling still polarises people in NZ cities, which is totally crazy. Aside from the retail issue, each person cycling to work is one less car on the road which should help with the traffic flow for everyone.

In reply to Phil Jones.

Hi Phil, I’ve checked the links and they seem to work fine to me (should link to http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/research/reports/530/) – perhaps try again?

Hi,

Thanks for this info – please can you provide the link to the NZTA study on shopping trips by mode? The one in the article doesn’t link through.

Thanks,
Phil

Good stuff Glen!! There are so many misunderstandings around this that it is probably the next big thing after dealing quite effectively with the “cyclist do not pay bla bla bla”.

Reblogged this on CycleBath and commented: Many of the objections businesses around the world have to the installation of cycle lanes at the expense of on-street parking are hard to justify given the financial benefit cycle lanes bring to an area. Cars go from A to B. Bikes go from A to B via C, D, E, F, and G.

I’d love to see this in The Press, 99% of people perceive the problem with on-street parking to be that there is not enough! What a fresh perspective, fantastic.

I third the notion that you should try and get this published.

This has the makings of an op-ed in the Press 🙂
