February is Aotearoa Bike Challenge<\/a> month. Selected because it is traditionally one of the more settled weather months (and sufficiently distant from the Christmas\u00a0hols), this Feb hasn’t proved so easy for cyclists. Lightfoot has had its usual suspects signing up to pedal for us, but overall, the numbers are down nationally. Do we even need to ask why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mass disruption for our northern whanau and communities has made cycling the last thing on people’s minds this month. I think most of us accept that the recent cyclones are a result of climate change caused by Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Some\u00a0don’t want to make the connection between GhGs and transport, but we do know that around 40% of our emissions are from transport<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
