Join Us
Imagine an Auckland where:
- Cycling is a viable first choice for commuting and recreational trips
- Our roads are safe, free-flowing and pleasant for all road users, especially the most vulnerable
- Our air is sweet and clean to breathe
- Our fit and healthy kids are cycling between home and school
- Our neighbourhoods are safe and friendly
- Our hospitals are not struggling treating diseases of inactivity
- Our budgets are not constrained by the spiralling cost of oil.

Alternatively we can post you a membership brochure so you can pay by cheque, email us with your name and address.
We need financial MEMBERS so we can work faster! For the price of a few flat whites a year, your subscription gives us a pool of funds for expertise and materials for short term projects and events like Cycle Style Auckland.

Donations
Donations are welcome and most gratefully accepted! Remember your donation also qualifies for a tax rebate.
Join as a FRIEND for FREE
If you share our vision, join as a Friend of Cycle Action. It costs nothing, but it demonstrates to us and those to whom we make submissions that there are a large number of Aucklanders who support cycling. There’s no commitment, and you’ll receive regular email newsletters to keep you up to date with what’s happening. Note that only the moderator can post to the Friends group – so you won’t receive spam (though messages do contain a Yahoo advert at the bottom, which enables us to offer this service for free).
To join as a Friend of CAA, send a blank email to Friends_of_CAA-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
How else can you get involved?
Communicate
Write a letter to your local community paper or the NZ Herald (e-mail: letters@nzherald.co.nz) on a cycling issue you’re concerned about. Be sure to end your letter on a positive note and proof read it before hitting the ‘send’ button!
Drop along to your Local Board. Tell them about cycling activity in your area, how it would be great to get more people out of their cars to foster a greater sense of community, and the barriers that prevent this. Talk to a Committee member for support information if needed.
Helping Out
Cycle Action is a voluntary organisation and we run on the smell of an oily (sweaty?) rag. We always appreciate members who have time to help out with:
- marketing Cycle Action to increase our membership
- fund-raising to enable us to continue short term projects
- submission writing and presenting to local authorities (eg: Councils, NZTA, MoT)
- assistance with the key projects
Please e-mail Jena if you’ve got an interest in these roles.
Meetings
Come along to a monthly meeting. Find out more about what we get up to and see if you’d like to get more involved.
