[Finally, here's Number Five of my "Top Five Issues" listed on the vote.co.nz website]
Rotorua is officially recognised as the 8th best mountain biking destination in the world. It's the undisputed home of mountain biking in NZ and this is just the beginning.
Our
part of the national cycle way is called "Thermal by Bike" or "Te Ara O Ahi." It takes riders through some of the most
unique landscapes in the world. We can offer both locals and visitors a safe
cycling environment second to none.
I believe we have the opportunity to build significantly onto this reputation and further raise our cycling profile.
We have an
ideal city for cyclists of all ages and styles, with our flat inner city, close proximity to food and entertainment, the
museum, the lake, the forest and hot spas. We have already created some safe cycling links from the suburbs into town.

What we need
next is a complete overhaul of cycle-ways across and through the inner city. Imagine a city full of bikes, where
pedestrians and cycles had safe passage away from cars; where it was easier to walk or bike than
drive.
As a motorist, imagine fewer cars on the road and not having to be on the lookout for cyclists around every bend.
Making
Rotorua the City of Cycles is within our grasp and I need your support to help
make this happen.
