11:1 - that's the replacement ratio of private cars to car share vehicles in Wellington thanks to @Mevo_nz & @Cityhoppa 🙌 #drivingchange #climateactionnow wellington.govt.nz/news-and-…
Very cool to see these free bike locks pop up in Wellington, looking forward to seeing more #lockydock #cyclelight #nolocknoproblem
From motorway off ramp to eBike on ramp, Wellington’s first Locky Dock is in the ground across from St Peter’s on Willis. Thanks to @michaelwoodnz for opening this new free to use public infrastructure and to everyone helping make these docks happen all around the country⚡️🚲

Great comic by @XTOTL on why NZ has such a big issue with cars & climate change. @KirstyWildNZ would love to know more about your research. 'The Side Eye’s Two New Zealands: The double cab climate' thespinoff.co.nz/?p=320432

Allow me to debunk a nonsensical scare story in the @spectator yesterday, claiming electric cars are impossible because they would lead to a complete replacement of the electricity grid.

I avoid it by bike yet groan as the buses crawl along it wishing I'd just got off & walked ... The Golden Mile - have your say & Let's Get Wellington Moving! Thanks for the handy guide @CycleAwareWgtn @Deutschkiwi #lgwm
Wish the Golden Mile focused a bit more on people and a bit less on cars? Check out our submission guide (thanks @deutschkiwi!) and give LGWM feedback so their plans work better for people on bikes/feet/buses.
Hint: Option 3 ''Transform" is the go!

Awesome to see projects like this still go ahead. They will ensure a more resilient NZ for the future - #BuildBackBetter
1,000 solar panels down, a few more to go! Work to build the country's first floating solar array is back underway. It'll feature 2,700+ panels, float atop a treatment pond and generate 1480 megawatt hrs of electricity each year with zero emissions. Nice work, Vector Powersmart.
