For cyclists heading north out of New Plymouth











Getting onto the foot path for heading out of town can be convoluted. If coming from Fitzroy, there are no big problems, just get up onto the foot path at a driveway and head around. If coming from New Plymouth you have to negotiate the traffic lights and traffic islands to get off the road.

Once at the other end there is no proper access back to the cycle lane that starts just north of the bridge unless you have a mountain bike and are confident of getting off kerbs. Not the usual scenario for the school kid or elderly commuter.
