Imagine
an Auckland
where:
- Cycling
is a viable first choice for
commuting and recreational trips
- Our
roads are safe, free-flowing and pleasant for all road users, especially the most vulnerable
- Our
air is sweet and clean to breathe
- Our
fit and healthy kids are cycling between home and school
- Our
neighbourhoods are safe and friendly
- Our
hospitals are not struggling treating diseases of inactivity
- Our
budgets are not constrained by the spiralling cost of
oil.
Want to turn this into reality? Be part of the solution and join us. How?
Join as a FRIEND for FREE
If you share our vision, join as a Friend of Cycle Action.
It costs nothing, but it demonstrates to us and those to whom we
make submissions that there are a large number of Aucklanders who
support cycling. There's no commitment, and you'll receive
regular email newsletters to keep you up to date with what's
happening. Note that only the
moderator can post to the Friends group - so you won't receive spam (though
messages do contain a Yahoo advert at the bottom, which enables
us to offer this service for free).
To join as a Friend of CAA, send a blank email to Friends_of_CAA-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. Join as a MEMBER, and really make a DIFFERENCE
While it's great to have friends, we need financial MEMBERS so we can work faster!
For the price of a few flat whites a year, your
subscription gives us a pool of funds for expertise and materials for short term projects, such as the GetAcross rally. Why join?...
- your financial support helps us to do more for you and all Auckland cyclists
- as Cycle Action is a registered charity, you'll be able to claim your membership fee as a tax rebate
- you'll get member discounts on CAN merchandise (e.g.
the 'One Less Car' waterproof reflective backpack covers)
- you'll be kept up to date on Auckland cycling news with the Cycle
Action Newsletter
- get CAN's ChainLinks magazine
and e.CAN email newsletter, with cycling news from around the country
and overseas
- you'll have the opportunity to get involved with our campaigns.

Joining
Cycle Action as a full member is easy. You can pay by direct
credit into our bank account: 38-9001-0980291-00 then email your
details to our membership
secretary.
Or, download our membership brochure
(PDF file), print it and fill it out, and
post it with your cheque. Alternatively we can post you a
membership brochure, email
us with your name and address. How else can you get involved?
Communicate
Write a letter to your local community paper or the Herald
(e-mail: letters@nzherald.co.nz)
on a cycling issue you're concerned about. Be sure to end your letter
on a positive note and proof read it before hitting the 'send' button!
Drop
along to your local Community Board. Tell them about
cycling activity in your area, how it would be great to get
more people out of their cars to foster a greater sense of community,
and the barriers that prevent this. Talk to a Committee member
for support information if needed.Helping Out
Cycle Action
is a voluntary organisation and we run on the smell of an oily
(sweaty?) rag. We always appreciate members who have time to help
out with:
- marketing Cycle Action to increase our membership
- fund-raising to enable us to continue short term projects
- submission writing and presenting to local authorities (eg:
Councils, NZTA, MoT)
- assistance with the key projects listed on our home
page
Please e-mail Barb if you've got an interest in these roles.
Meetings
Come along to a monthly meeting.
Find out more about what we get up to and see if you'd like to get
more involved. |
