Biking outfits don't have to be stretchy or Lycra or high vis. They can be 90s floral dresses with black tights and boots... or whatever you want to wear! 💛💙🧡🖤 #paihikara

Picture looking down on my legs while riding a bike. I'm wearing a floral dress, black tights, and black lace-up boots.

What are some cool things that councils around Aotearoa do to foster conversations about sustainability, enable community leadership, and support behaviour change? (esp. around transport and waste reduction, but would love to hear about any cool stuff, really!) #paihikara#nzpol

Day 1 at my new job ✅ Lots of information, lots of inductiony things to tick off, lots to learn. But also nice people, a nice bike commute to and from, and a nice lunch break by the sea. #paihikara

Looks like it's time for my semi-regular reminder that: - fat people can and do ride bikes for many reasons - fat bodies are not problems to be fixed - fatness and fitness are not mutually exclusive - jokes about fat bodies are boring and there's no place for them in bike advocacy #paihikara

People at the print store doubted us, but getting our 5000 page print job home by bike was no trouble at all with #BlueberryTheBike#BoysenberryTheBike#paihikara

This is: - exactly what I expected from our government-for-the-rich - a pathetically weak and inequitable approach to reducing transport emissions in 2024 (Screenshot from the recently released Emissions Reduction Plan consultation: consult.environment.govt.nz/climate/seco...#nzpol#paihikara

A screenshot from NZ proposed Emissions Reduction Plan. Text reads:
"What we’re doing now • We are reviewing the Clean Car Importer Standard to 
ensure it is effective and achievable.
• We are working with businesses through Sustainable 
Aviation Aotearoa to understand the barriers to 
decarbonising aviation.
What’s coming • We will enable a network of 10,000 public EV charging 
points by 2030 and facilitate private investment in EV 
charging infrastructure.
• We will review regulatory barriers to decarbonising heavy 
vehicles.
• We will work with other countries on sustainable aviation 
fuels and low- and zero-carbon shipping on key trade 
routes by 2035.
• We will support public transport in our main cities.
What this means for New Zealanders
• People can charge their EVs easily across the county."

This week alone at least one pedestrian and one cyclist have died on New Zealand roads, yet our Minister of Transport wants to INCREASE speed limits. Submissions on proposed speed limit changes close in TWO DAYS. Have your say today: consult.transport.govt.nz/policy/setti...#nzpol#paihikara

The Festival of Lights in Ngāmotu New Plymouth is such a treasure, and the winter version is great because you can take the kids at a sensible time. Even better when you go by #paihikara and get premium parking for free and can avoid most of the traffic! 🌟🚲💡📷💛

The draft GPS was bad, and the final GPS provides potentially EVEN LESS funding to walking and cycling than first indicated. C'mon Simeon... Our kids deserve better! #nzpol#paihikara
