If you ride a bike on the track/pathway linking the ‘Waterway’ ride to Humber Street beside the Ahuriri Estuary, in Napier please be aware that this area may be now banned to people riding bikes.
It seems DOC has received complaints about cyclists using this pathway.
This is one of the very few urban/natural tracks in city boundaries and one that is perfect for young families, getting them active and enjoying the outdoors – it is a great recreational area for this! If you value the pathways (whether or not you are a pathway rider, or know people who are) Cycling Development Officer, Vicki Butterworth is asking all cyclists to consider giving DOC some feedback on why we all (cyclists and walkers) should be able to (and do) enjoy this area by bicycle, not just when out walking.
If you would like to give your feedback on this matter, you can email DOC napier-ao@doc.govt.nz
