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.

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.

Having easily accessible and visible bike parking will help grow the culture of cycling. And that is good for everyone. It decreases the number of cars on the road, reduces pollution and carbon emissions, and increases well being.

Bikes Welcome is an initiative that truly embodies the meaning of resilience. In a time when every sector of society is being called upon to reduce carbon emissions and fight obesity any encouragement to create a biking culture is a fundamental necessity.
