I have two recumbent trikes now, one e-trike and one 'acoustic' trike. They are very different, but each allows me to go many places in town. My orthopedist was enthusiatic about the trike over any other exercise except swimming, and since I don't swim much, this is the best option. I like the way you can see more, on a trike- you can look at the sky, see the wildlife, etc.

When me and my wife moved to Auckland this was one of the reasons why we didn't look for housing on the Northshore because of the lack of options to commute by bike. Maybe, just maybe one day something will happen.

Your idea is better than nothing, but I'd much rather just ride across. Closing one lane to vehicular traffic might annoy people, but stuff 'em - they'll still have plenty of other lanes to use.

Much better to liberate an existing lane on the bridge! It's unlikely to make much difference to other bridge users as traffic volumes on the bridge are low, and we need them to get lower if we're going to reach our emissions reduction targets :)
