Tauranga Cyclists Feel Less Safe | Auckland News

Tauranga cyclists are feeling less safe on the roads—even as the city pushes forward with new bike infrastructure. A recent survey shows safety confidence plummeted from 56% to 45%, hitting hardest among young adults and in high-cycling areas like Mount Maunganui. Despite only 4% biking to work, local officials admit the drop is alarming and call for dedicated, separated bike lanes. While no formal cycling strategy exists yet, council plans include safer crossings, upgraded intersections, and new paths along Cameron Road, Welcome Bay, and the Hairini Bridge—all aimed at rebuilding trust and making active transport a viable, secure option.
