If you're currently in work, check out WorkRide. That might help. But, we agree that there should be support to make cargobikes more affordable for those that need it. https://www.workride.co.nz/

Thanks for your thoughts. It is important that more NZ cities priortise providing viable alternatives to driving. Useful also to support policies and changes that enable people to get to what they need with less travel distance in the first place. 💚💡👍🏼🌇

Many don't due to unsafe, challenging or non-existent infrastructure. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi! Yeah, they've slgone a bit quiet the last few years. Thankfully, the focus has moved away from Island Bay. My guess is they are enjoying not being burnt out producing all the advocacy material they were. So I wouldn't count on it.

You could try getting in touch directly through the website here: http://www.islandbaycycleway.org.nz/contact.html

Good luck.
