A picture's worth a thousand words

3/2/2016

They say a picture's worth a thousand words (or maybe a thousand opinions). Last week both 3 News and One News ran stories about an alleged overspend on the cycleway - a claim that was obviously ridiculous and subsequently shown to be false. If you turned the sound down, however, (advised) both stories came across as an accidental promotional video for the cycleway. In the short time they were filming on The Parade the two channels shot footage of at least 12 different people using the cycleway, including a child on a hitcher, and a recumbent bullet bike! (whaaat?). Great to see so many people getting out there and actually trying the cycleway for themselves.

Out of the thirteen two are clearly not in the cycle way at all but in the part on the edge.

What's with the double up of photos, claiming there is 13 cyclist, when the correct count is 10 in the photos provided

Hi Laura, I think you are right about photos 6 & 7 but the rest are definitely different people. I have revised the piece to correctly refer to 12 different cyclists. Thanks for your help in resolving this.

Yes cyclists are using the well overpriced cycle way. But they have to. That doesn't mean they feel safe doing so

The range of people in just these few photos shows what happens when there's a safe place to cycle. Young and old, male and female alike can give cycling a go, in whatever clothes and on whatever sort of bike they like best. Great to see.

I used to live in Island Bay and there were never any cyclists about, so great to see this. Thanks.
