Join us for one day only to bike down to Meadowbank Train Station where there will be secure bicycle parking on the station platform for the day and a coffee cart with FREE coffee for people who turn up on a bicycle. We are running this on Wednesday 28 February, the last day of Aotearoa Bike Challenge Month. To make it easier, clear wayfinding signs will be put up around Meadowbank and St Johns. Avoid the usual parking hassles and ride your bike to the station instead. Go on, give it a go!
Why Bike to Train in Meadowbank?
Meadowbank Train Station is a long walk from the Town Centre, and from much of our suburb. So, many people choose to drive instead. But parking is becoming more and more difficult in the streets around the station. For some, cycling could make sense as an alternative. But cycling to the station is not without its challenges either. Which routes are safest? Will my bicycle be secure if I leave it there all day? This event is a pilot trial, to see if decent wayfinding signs and secure cycle parking, on the station platform, in line of sight of the CCTV (and, yes, even a free coffee) could make a difference.
Many thanks to Bike Eastern Suburbs and Auckland Transport for their support.
