I think the results of the Aotearoa Bike Challenge 2020 will be a clear message as to which city in NZ is the most cycle-friendly… would be fun if they provided a breakdown of “km ridden in each region” as well.

As always, garbage data in gets garbage results out. Wellington having 500km of bike lanes? Auckland having 9% mode share? I don’t think so. Also a very warped understanding of cycle safety based on fatals per capita, not by how much cycling is done in each country (eg Netherlands has 200 cycling fatals a year but is clearly safer than NZ’s 5-10 a year).

Christchurch gets left out of these ratings because no-one thinks to check what the second largest city in NZ might be like – Currently working to try to change that…

No Christchurch but Wellington a d Auckland in the top 10?
