Cycle Action Auckland announces Bikes for Life: a public rally for action to improve cycling safety in Auckland – 11am this Sunday, 5 December, on Queens Wharf, Auckland.
“Cycle riding benefits health, air quality, carbon emissions, the economy, traffic congestion and happiness. It is an important transport choice that enhances our cities and lives. Despite this, the recent spate of deaths and rising levels of cycling injuries in Auckland shows how hostile our roads can be to people on bicycles.” says Barbara Cuthbert, Spokesperson for Cycle Action Auckland.
Come along to the Library Bar, Level 1 53 Courtenay Place (above Burger King)
to hear guest speaker Jonathan Kennett talk about The Growth of Cycling Opportunities in New Zealand.
Food and fun will be provided.

Go on, forget the 'silly season' racing around spending / buying ... have a much more memorable lead up to christmas - check out the rubbish dump and the Second Treasures shop ;-)
Ever wondered what happens to the rubbish in your yellow rubbish bag after it leaves your place? In an effort to become more conscious about what we throw out, and what goes on - we've organised the first in a series that you might call - 'Watch your Waste' ... this one is a guided tour of the Happy Valley rubbish dump (old fashioned description ... there’s lots more goes on than i knew about, and i want to find out more!) Next year we want to visit the sewerage treatment site at Moa Point, and also check out the recycling!
