Cycling in New Zealand
Cycling in New Zealand, while relatively popular as a sport, bicycle use is a very marginal commuting mode, with the share hovering around 1-3% in most major cities. This is due to a number of factors, principally safety fears.
==History==
(詳細はNew Zealand introduced mandatory bicycle helmet wearing, a change which some parts of academia and cycling advocacy credit with further reducing the incidence and attractiveness of cycling.
Since the 1990s, a number of local Councils have developed cycling (or walking & cycling) strategies to plan for the provision of cycle-friendly environments and the promotion of cycling for transport and recreation.〔(New Zealand walking and cycling strategy stocktake, NZTA, Oct 2008 )〕 The Government, in its 2002 NZ Transport Strategy (and 2008 revision),〔(The New Zealand Transport Strategy 2008, Ministry of Transport )〕 officially acknowledged the role that cycling can play in helping to achieve a number of strategic transport outcomes, and in 2005 the first national Walking and Cycling Strategy "Getting There: On Foot, By Cycle"〔("Getting there - on foot, by cycle: A strategy to advance walking and cycling in New Zealand transport", NZ Government, February 2005 )〕 was released. However the current National-led Government has set aside this strategy and restricted funding for cycling facilities, citing the need for motorway investment instead.〔(Delivering the roads of national significance, NZTA, Aug 2012 )〕 The one significant investment since 2010 has been the "Model Walking and Cycling Communities" programme, which saw $7 million invested over 2 years in the two chosen communities, Hastings and New Plymouth, as demonstration projects of what could be achieved with concentrated focus〔(Model Communities, NZTA, Jul 2010 )〕 - a further $15 million has since been earmarked to these towns for 2012-15.〔(Encouraging walking and cycling, NZTA, Aug 2012 )〕
Cycling is increasingly becoming a touristic and (at least local) economic factor in the 2010s. In addition to successful cycle touring schemes (like those gathered under the New Zealand Cycle Trail umbrella) credited with revitalising local back country areas, are experiences like those reported from Rotorua, where the mountain biking business within the Whakarewarewa timber plantation forest is several times that earned annually from the timber plantation itself.
