If you think cycleways are expensive, wait until you hear about these things called motorways... :-)]]></description>

Thanks for the 2024 review Glen.
I find it useful to refresh one&#039;s perspective and appreciation of the cycle infrastructure we have here in Christchurch.

We are now lucky to have a multitude of cycling options, both within the city and in the neighbouring countryside. The latter are especially great for day rides, exploring with picnic lunches in our panniers. The benefits to the individual, and the community as a whole, are immense.

Of course, it is critical that the city&#039;s cycle paths are completed so that they form a linked and efficient network. The term &quot;future proofing&quot; comes to mind.

Let&#039;s hope that egocentric and irrational delays don&#039;t force the cost of completing the network further along its exponential path.

Ride on!]]></description>

Stop trying to justify your needless expensive cycle ways.

Your social engineering lacks subtly]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#039;m 77 and wouldn&#039;t be cycling at all if it wasn&#039;t for ebikes and all the awesome trails in and around Christchurch. I&#039;m happily alive, fit and healthy thanks to all the cycling community up and down the country. Alps To Ocean booked for February, long may it all happen]]></description>
