New Zealand’s Urban City Cycling Networks – They’re On A Roll!

Creating better bike paths are a big step towards encouraging more people to take advantage of the health, environmental, economic and social benefits of riding to work, riding for exercise, or riding for leisure activities. Pleasingly for us here at LEKKER bikes, we’ve seen significant developments to roads and bike paths around New Zealand in recent years.

In 2014, the New Zealand Prime Minister announced $100 million of additional funding over 3 years for the Urban Cycleways Program with the aim of making major improvements to cycling infrastructure in the main urban centres.

Projects are already underway or completed in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. The focus then turns between 2016-2018 to projects across the country in Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga/Western Bay of Plenty, Rotorua, Gisborne, Napier, Hastings, New Plymouth, Whanganui, Palmerston North, Kapiti Coast, Porirua, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Wellington, Marlborough, Nelson, Christchurch, Selwyn, Waimakariri and Dunedin.

These initiatives range from serious commuters bicycle lanes in the major cities to help you get from A-B quickly and efficiently,  to far more laid back, comfortable and cruisy wine trails in NZ’s world famous vineyard regions.
