"[the Auckland Transport cycle counters] have recorded, in the last year, 3 million bike trips. If those trips were actually done by car, the congestion in Auckland would be unbelievable." Our Chair, Karen Hormann, spoke to Ross on This Climate Business: lnkd.in/gsnu6X5F

One of NZ’s top historians delves into the meaning of ‘indigenous’ to try and bring some light to this subject. Fascinating. Thanks Scott.

1/17 Winston Peters is not a reliable guide to history. Back in the '90s Peters claimed he couldn't be racist against Chinese NZ because Maori were originally Chinese. Now Peters is at it again, claiming Maori aren't indigenous. Here's how I understand that much-debated term.

The new route would allow thousands of Wellingtonians to safely cycle to their store, and the retailer simply will not stand for it.

Thanks to the @TheSpinoffTV for doing a deep dive into 'How can Auckland bridge the harbour-sized gap in its cycling network?' thespinoff.co.nz/society/28-…

A new plan to get cyclists and pedestrians across the harbour would be cheap, easy and quick to set up – but there's a catch for drivers.

To ungroup a group booking with @FlyAirNZ you have no choice but to phone them. Trouble is this is actually impossible. Here’s my wife’s attempt yesterday. 5 hours 40m on hold. No answer.

If we had travelled by bike instead of being on hold we’d be halfway there, and zero hours of tinny music.

No idea what to do now. Buy a whole new flight instead of changing the one we need to?

The worst part was five hours of excruciating hold music through the phone speaker.

These infrastructure upgrades have strong support from all corners – so why have they been delayed and de-scoped? thespinoff.co.nz/politics/02…

Don’t Google it, just guess, what’s the elevation of Queenstown (in meters above sea level)? I’ll put the answer up in one hour.

The Waitakere ranges, the Port Hills, and the hills around Welly all have much higher spots. Crazy eh?

What if @eltonofficial did a little Facebook Live concert from his hotel room tonight for those who didn’t get to see him and the thousands of others affected by the floods? #aucklandflooding #EltonJohn – at Auckland, New Zealand

The outpouring of love, support & donations has been truly heartening. For now tho — because we’ve been inundated & have too much food & clothing, please hold off from dropping off donations. If there’s anything we need, I’ll be sure to post up & you’ll be the first to know!🙏🏽
