Cycle Aware Wellington
- Great Harbour Way: Boffa Miskell consultants have done a concept report. Ride held as part of the 350.org climate change day of action. Wellington and Hutt City Councils have submitted funding applications to NZTA.
- Wellington City Council Cycling Plan: funding cut reversed, advisory group formed, has a say in spending on infrastructure.
- Speed limits: 30 km/h limits being introduced in some areas.
- Newtown: Safer Roads plan: 40 km/h limits on suburban streets, advanced stop boxes.
- Bikes on trains/ buses: bikes on trains now travel free (but this led to limits of 2 bikes per train). New train units have more space. Bikes on bus initiatives e.g. Karori.
- Bikeability training.
Kapiti Cycling
- Have a very good council to work with at present.
- First cycleway/walkway/bridleway strategy has been completed.
- 10 new bike stands installed in a retail upgrade at Paraparaumu Beach.
- New foot/cycle bridge over Waikanae River.
- Promise of 30 km/h zone in a retail precinct- though some opposition from engineers.
- NZTA proposal to link Kapiti communities (MacKays Crossing to Peka Peka): to take local traffic off SH1- but this was subsequently stymied. Conflict of interest problems with consultants?
- Memorial ride for Frank van Kampen.

- Submissions: local council, Safer Journeys, National Infrastructure Plan.
