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 respect 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.
