Bikes make life betterer

We’re pretty fortunate to live in Auckland aren’t we? I was riding along my local beach this morning and thought to myself, “there’s pretty much nowhere else I’d rather be.”

Sure it rains a lot, but it’s temperate (I wear shorts all year round after all) and on a day like today you forget about that last drenching. A bike ride just plain makes your life betterer, even going to work!

And what don’t I like about Auckland? Well the traffic for one thing, but that’s easy to fix. Stop building motorways and put that money into better public transport and bike infrastructure, simple.

Bike-racks on buses, a cycle-lane over the harbour bridge, plentiful (separated) bike lanes, then life would be betterer than betterer, but I don’t have a word for that.

Seldom happier than when riding his bike, Antoine wants more Aucklanders scooting around on two wheels, it's fun! His own cycling adventures are sometimes found at Bike Friendly North Shore, a bike-culture blog for those north of the Coathanger.
