Spokes Canterbury is a cycling advocacy group, based in Christchurch. It is dedicated to including cycling as an everyday form of transport within local and regional planning in Canterbury, and in particular the Greater Christchurch area. It was established in 1998, as a successor to the former Canterbury Cyclists’ Association.
Spokes’ many longstanding advocates include transportation professionals and (most importantly) regular cyclists. Spokes provides regular feedback from a cyclist’s perspective on various transportation and planning issues to local Councils and other agencies.
Spokes has representatives on Christchurch City Council’s Road Safety Committee, Central City Transport Working Group, and Environment Canterbury’s Regional Land Transport Committee and Public Transport Advisory Group.
