…full of wide roads, with cyclists and pedestrians being killed in droves, and city squares used as car parks. And how they became what they are today. Strong stuff.

I don’t get sentimental often, but our Waterfront is a dead cert, everytime, to make me fall in love.

I love the Wynyard Quarter, Tamaki Drive and the ferry building, I even love the area west of the ferries, where I have to take care to manoeuvre my bike around dozy tourists, just off the cruise ships, who dream along looking upwards or just stand like human bollards. And I love working with the Waterfront Auckland team – the staff and the Board – they are natural partners for Cycle Action – quick, intuitive and engaging.

Here is Waterfront Auckland’s latest tribute to our Waterfront. Hope you love it!

Okay – we know we said we’d be done with speaker videos from the Cycle Summit!

Well, that is technically true, yet… there’s… still more… videos… – namely a series of “after event” interviews where we videoed a lot of the people attending the summit about their impressions and hopes for cycling in Auckland.

However, in the hope of not putting off those who have heard enough, we will not present those videos as one long series of additional blog posts. Instead, if you want to watch them, simply head over to this playlist on the Cycle Action Auckland channel on Youtube!

We have left this video from the Cycle Summit for last as we wrap up the series, because it is one of the key messages.

Hear Alexandra Macmillan, population health researcher at University of Auckland, talk about the massive impacts cycling can make on the health issues facing our society. Forget the obsession about cycling risks. Ask people how can we risk NOT supporting cycling with all our energy?

In this second-to-last speaker video from the Cycle Summit, we have Callum McNair, organiser of the ClipOn Challenge (last year’s ride across the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Northern Busway), reflect on cycling in secondary schools, and future cycling events.

*(While ClipOn Challenge 2012 didn’t happen due to sponsoring issues, 2013 is going ahead – follow them on facebook if you want to be kept informed.
