Totally agree, would love to have a cycle-friendly city here in Auckland but our car drivers make it dangerous for cyclists so I wouldn't ride a bike on the streets. ‘I will never ride a bike again’: why people are giving up on cycling
, the lowest figure since records began in 2015-16. Here, readers from around the UK explain why they have given up riding their bikes on the road.I stopped cycling because my bike was stolen twice from a cycle hoop in a span of one year. Even though I had insurance, I lost about £400 on locks. That experience was enough to deter me from buying a bike for a third time.
I now take the tube to work. I’ve been out once or twice on my wife’s bike because I’ve missed cycling – but not enough to buy a new one.I have ridden a bike all my life and have ridden thousands of miles but had a couple of years off. When I started again just after lockdown it was a truly terrifying experience. With almost no exceptions, all the road users were aggressive and impatient and resented having to share the road.
I started cycling again about three years ago, in order to teach road safety to our grandson. But this year we sold our bikes. It’s too dangerous around here. There are very few pavements, nothing’s marked out for cyclists, and what cycle paths we do have are too far away.
