I would like to see the facts and figures about usage for all the bike lanes installed everywhere and the cost per journey.

Utter bullshit. Have a good day mate, the sun's shining, stay out the car and get some exercise.
dude, there’s essentially a fucking receipt in the article from the wellington city council!come on marv - your article (link below), a taxpayers union release that has basically made shit up to suit it's own agenda.
Inside that article is a link to the post article, which has a breakdown of all costs.
It's disingenuous and frankly bollocks to say the least to spin this entire thing as a bike rack. It's right wing bullshit typical of the taxpayers union.
Diane Calvert is clearly right leaning too. This is a complete beat up feeding into middle class conservative bias culture war crap quite frankly

Where is the facts and figure about cycling to back up your well structure argument?
Ha ha no. Just the right reinforcement of taxpayers union bullshit again.Hahahaha not @MaybeTop8 forgetting what hes posted, getting quoted and then arguing against his own source
Must be that pesky neoliberalism again
that was my point exactly.
bike lanes, bike racks, lycra clad bike riders hogging the road, it's hilarious seeing Stuff and facebook page comments devolve into full unbridled rage everytime hah!too many of them are terrible.As a Wellingtonian the mere mention of bikes is enough to cause at least 50% of the people in the immediate vicinity to spontaneously combust
I am on the side of bike lanes/racks etc would be a good idea if executed correctly, and that the way Wellington City Council have done it over the years hasn't felt particularly correct.
The foreshore one in New Plymouth has been done brilliantly and over time has extended further and further around the coast as time goes on. Feels like a small Wellington at times with its brilliant artistic scene, but better
), and absolutely hated the Island Bay cycleway which just felt plain weird the way it veered in and out with parked cars sometimes on your left, sometimes on your right.oh, you’re from there? i used to go to new plymouth all the time. i really dig it. great hospo scene too.
Yeah that’s home, though I don’t live there. We’ve talked about it before, both knowing mean gene in the tattoo scene
ah, that’s right!
We had a great social club called dirtbags tattoo club about 15 years ago. Great guy
hahaha awesome!
No relation. Just a bunch of dirtbags
