Aotearoa / New Zealand

I used to bike every day but kinda fallen out of the habit of late as I mostly work from home. There's been some good improvements to the both the cycle, and general road infrastructure recently which has made it a lot safer for me going into to work.

That said with the narrow winding roads in my area, there's not really any room for further cycle lanes. So unless they introduce lower speed limits, or remove on street parking, then it's probably as cycle friendly as it'll get - which is still not super friendly.

I get by because I have an e-bike and can mostly keep up with traffic if I go hard out (except for uphill), but I wouldn't recommend cycling on those roads to more casual / younger riders.
