Easier to get around by bike

Cyclists. Almost hit a pothole or utility cover in the kerb lane?
Swiped by overhanging branches as you rode home?
Had to swerve to avoid broken glass?

Next time you come across a potential hazard while cycling on Auckland City's roads, please tell us about it!

Maintenance issues that compromise the safety of cyclists will be attended to within 14 days, if an issue is going to take longer to fix - we'll let you know.

As a cyclist you may also have specific suggestions for making Auckland City easier to get around by bike, for example:

  • new crossing facilities, kerb ramps, signage or cycle stands
  • intersection treatments for cyclists (eg advanced stop lines)
  • bike access through road closure
  • traffic light sensors for cyclists
  • modifications to traffic calming devices or other squeeze points
  • on-road or off-road bike lanes.

Auckland City is keen to hear your suggestions so that they can be considered when transport projects are being planned and prioritized. Make your suggestion by emailing a detailed description of it to cycle@aucklandcity.govt.nz, or write to:
