Cycling is a convenient and healthy way to get from A to B. We would all be better off if more people cycle, more often. But more people cycle that most people would assume. About 30% of people in New Zealand ride bikes. The Ministry of Transport Household Travel Survey In 2019-2022 period, showed that 37% of Kiwi's cycled, with 33% female, 41% male breakdown. A massive 73 million cycling trips are made per year in Aotearoa, including the 48,000 people who ride to work (about 2.2% of commuters) according to the 2018 Census. Commuting by bike is increasing in many cities including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. So what are you waiting for, give cycling a go, benefitting the mind, body and planet and a healthy way to get around your city or town.
