As someone who is often on a bike, I find the Wellington version, where cycling is officially forbidden, frustrating. The promise of VAS, where we could use mixed active transport, including bikes, to get places, has transformed into a street where we’re not allowed to ride our bikes, and I don’t feel welcome to stop on my way home & pick something up.
On the other hand when I’m walking it’s great. Overall I like it better than when cars were allowed, and I hope it comes back – and is improved to allow some officially blessed cycling, and maybe a way for people to pick up heavy things at places like Rona.

Something something causality… maybe we could focus on workable spaces instead of agendas for one furshlugginer second, or *GASP* tax relief…
