Candidate for Council Burwood/Pegasus Ward
I see only positives in utility cycling provided of course that it is voluntary and that others are not penalised for not partaking in it.
In answer to your questions, there is a difference between "active lobbying" and supporting. I would not be an active lobbyer on any of the iniatives you have outlined. However, given the chance, I would vote in a flash to remove the compulsion to wear cycle helmets (if indeed councils do have the power to do so) . I would also support the encouragement of a return to cycling but within the parameters of my most important criterion which is to be as tight as a flounder's bottom with the ratepayers' money.
