Nice one Neal!
Neal has been cycling daily to work for the past nine years, covering a 20 km route between his home in Pakuranga and his work place in Newmarket. While a direct route would only be around 10 km, he chooses the longer ride because he enjoys the cycleways so much.
“Beyond safety, the cycleways have added real value to my day. They’ve created opportunities to interact with a wide range of users, both human and canine and those moments, combined with the physical activity, set me up mentally for the day ahead in the office. Of course, the weather isn’t always ideal, but even on rough days, it beats being stuck in traffic.”
