" there is an alternative route north through Farnswood Place and Redwood Park at the moment "
A prominent sign upon entry into Farnswood Place advises
"No Through Route" and the cycle sign along the alley into Redwood Park is completely obliterated by foliage.
The Shirley Papanui Community Board resolved to rectify this…………… two years ago.

I LOVE the cycle lane! I live in Amberley and drive in as far as Sturrocks Road then park up and hop on the bike! I cycle the whole track to Fendalton Rd and then through Hagley to Salisbury and on to Manchester- I do it 3 times a week so have given the gym membership the hike too. I love caning my fitness between the crossings which can be a bit hit and miss but then it adds to the variety and it is never unsafe so that doesn’t really bother me. It’s not overly crowded either so I have taken to it really well and don’t feel pressure to keep up- I go my pace and so does everyone else- seeing all the gardens burst into Spring and watching communities lives around me adds WAY more to my commute than sitting in my car and waiting on Marshlands Rd.. it’s about physical and mental health. I try to do 4 times a week and through 3 seasons of the year it is DEFINETLY the way to go for me! Work has showers so I can start my day pumped and fresh so it’s win/win all round!

It’s great, especially when the lights change for you, but that narrow section will need to be addressed as it’s already dangerous with a risk of catching handlebars in the wire fence. Heavier usage will make it much worse. Even creating a little extra handlebar space would help with some kind of change to the fence.

Always enjoyed biking along there when I was at university in Christchurch ten years ago. Hope to ride it again one day.
