Tom Smith in Mangawhai.

As an active cyclist, I am keen to promote cycling initiatives.

I am very aware that we currently do not have a safe cycling/walking network in our key settlements.

This has been a key component to my election campaign as I intend for KDC to develop a cycling/ walking strategy.

Regards Tom Smith

PS have you voted yet??

Thanks for the information. I am interested, but do not have time at the moment to reply to all your questions - and for some of the questions I would need more information and some careful thinking before making any decisions.

At age 69 I still frequently cycle to town - 7km, with half rough gravel. I resent having to wear a helmet, but at this stage would be very careful about rescinding their use. We need a far more cycle-friendly environment before that would pay.

Whangarei D.C. is making slow progress with dedicated cycle ways. The Kaipara has 'more pressing' issues!! However, there is a growing consciousness of the possiblities, and I am keen to help where practicable.

Thanks again. It is a worthy cause.

Regards David
