Thanks to the fantastic podcast Bike Talk for letting me know about it!

@forteller Some sections may have partial truths like "Cycling causes danger to people walking". Cycling as such doesn't cause harm, cyclists driving into pedestrians does.
I have scars from a cyclist hitting me on a footpath. Some cyclists ignore NZ Road Rule against cycling on pedestrian only footpaths.
I am keen on dedicated cycleways and very happy to see more of these being constructed in parts of Aotearoa New Zealand. Safer for cyclists, car and truck drivers, and pedestrians too.
@forteller "If we put in cycling infrastructure or pedestrianise a road, shops will get less business" eh? People walking past instead of driving past means less customers? That makes no sense.
