When me and my wife moved to Auckland this was one of the reasons why we didn't look for housing on the Northshore because of the lack of options to commute by bike. Maybe, just maybe one day something will happen.

Your idea is better than nothing, but I'd much rather just ride across. Closing one lane to vehicular traffic might annoy people, but stuff 'em - they'll still have plenty of other lanes to use.

Much better to liberate an existing lane on the bridge! It's unlikely to make much difference to other bridge users as traffic volumes on the bridge are low, and we need them to get lower if we're going to reach our emissions reduction targets :)

Lanarkshire Guided Rides has been brilliant for me, and I am very grateful to all involved. Have dabbled in cycling on and off over many years however never managed to stick at it long enough to really improve. Finding a bunch of folks with a common interest in cycling was exactly the support I needed. Travelling further, building confidence, facing my nemesis in the shape of a hill, slowly learning a little more about bikes, all of this has helped me on my cycling journey. Would thoroughly recommend anyone out there even just a little interested in cycling – go seek out a group and enjoy the support and the fun that comes with every journey!

The COP26 challenge was one of the Badge challenges. Fairly short ride that I completed but for some reason I did not get credit for all the rides. - Back in the 70's & 80's there would be a dusting of snow now and then and a good couple of inches once every ten years or so. Last time I saw snow in Aptos was about 20 yrs ago coming home from a trip down south at about 3AM. Snow was falling. Hwy 1 was being plowed from Freedom Blvd to Sea Cliff. It looked to be a mix of snow and hail. Rained about sunrise and all was gone soon after.
