Life Cycle rides to Wellington

"LifeCycle" is a bicycle ride from Whangarei to Wellington, organised by Cycling Advocacy Network (CAN) member Dean Scanlen, that will take place from the 17th to the 30th of April and finish at a rally on the steps of Parliament. It will pass many locations in which people have been killed while cycling. The aims of this ride are:
To pay our respects to people who have been killed while cycling on our roads.
To achieve big improvements in attitudes about, and behaviour towards, cyclists by motorists.
To promote stronger and more effective driver licensing procedures.
To persuade the Government to spend 10% of its roading budget on cycle safety measures.
“LifeCycle” organisers would also like to use a HelmetCam on the ride. If anyone has one that could be used, please contact Dean dean@e-outcomes.co.nz For more details, and to register as a friend, please go to:
