About Kapiti Cycling Incorporated (KCI)

Kapiti Cycling Inc. is a voice for Kapiti Coast cyclists — we are a volunteer organisation representing cyclists of all ages and abilities who wish to cycle safely throughout the region.

Our vision for the coast

Cycling to school, work and for leisure is an everyday activity on the Kapiti Coast

Our aims

  • To promote the message that cycling is an intelligent means of transport
  • To encourage Kapiti Coast residents to cycle on all short trips within each town
  • To lobby for improved safety for cyclists on the Kapiti Coast
  • To lobby for a separate coastal cycling link between towns on the Kapiti Coast.

Submissions

Kapiti Cycling Inc. is actively involved in making submissions to both the local council and Greater Wellington Regional Council to ensure that cyclists are catered for in ll areas where work is to be undertaken.  This covers both on-road and off-road facilities.

Cyclist safety - problem spots

Trying to ensure cyclist safety is a major area of our concern and a large amount of work has been undertaken over the last year within the district to identify problem spots.  A listing of these roads can be found on this page.

Kapiti Cycling contributes to the Cycling Walking and Bridleways (CWB) Working Group of the Kapiti Coast District Council. The CWB Working Group produced the CWB strategy which guides the council in developing provision for cycling, walking and bridleways.
