The most modern and motor vehicle-dependent cities around the world are experiencing a biking revolution. Bikes are a cheap, healthy and environmentally friendly option for transport and recreation.
Hamilton’s Biking Plan will contribute to a more attractive and liveable city for families.
Our 30 year Biking Plan will make biking safe, convenient and visible; encouraging more people to bike more
often in Hamilton.
Why is this project important?
- A strong bike culture makes for a healthier, more active population
- A connected off road bike network is safe and makes biking accessible for everyone
- Hamilton’s flat environment gives us a natural advantage in becoming a bike- friendly city
- Connecting to the Te Awa River Ride provides a great opportunity to grow Hamilton’s visitor reputation
