Avalon cycleway (well, shared path actually!)

Tim from Hutt Central

Fantastic to see the city continue to invest in making getting to school safer on bikes.

The city's getting denser. Every commute should feel like what it does during school holidays. The only way to get that to happen is when parents feel comfortable with their kids riding bikes and walking to school.

I've heard a few people moan that there's no bikes, so there's no need for a cycleway. But the lack of bikes is exactly the point. It indicates that people don't feel like bikes are a valid option.

Cycleways work all around the world. There's no magical curse which means that they won't work here too.
