All good things must come to an end, and so it was with Bikes Welcome. You can read a bit more as to how and why here.

We are proud of the things we achieved, and will go on supporting biking and championing bike parking in our towns and cities. Thank you to everyone who supported Bikes Welcome over the years, and thank you to everyone who rides a bike or is kind to someone who does.

Our Bike Parking Guidelines are still available here.

Some of our most popular content has a new home on the CAN website – link below.

We were also proud to contribute to the Cycle Network Guidance on Bike Parking, which you can find on the NZTA website.

You can still purchase Bikes Welcome T-shirts and more here.

Bike Parking Guidelines

Good bike parking gets used and encourages biking. Our Bike Parking Guidelines cover what good bike parking is, as well as planning, installation and design considerations for bike parking and complementary end of trip facilities.

Cycle Tourism Boosts for Business

6 Tips for attracting cycling travellers to your town or business, and giving them an experience to remember and recommend.

The Business Benefits of Biking

Biking benefits business. More people are choosing bikes for transport as well as recreation. They may look like any other customer – not all bike users wear lycra. Your business benefits when you make it attractive and accessible to bike-users.

Getting more people cycling is a priority for the Government and the Bikes Welcome Initiative looks to be a great way to support cycling at a local level. This would be complementary to the work the NZTA is doing in our towns and cities in partnership with local councils.

Awesome idea! I always wish there were better parks around town 🙂
