It’s Pecha Kucha time again! Well, it’s always Pecha Kucha time – who doesn’t enjoy great company, refreshments, and a stimulating roundelay of smart, funny, intruiging quickfire slideshow talks? – but we especially love the ones about bikes.
Vol. 51 is the Urban Transportation edition, with a dozen different speakers addressing the question of Auckland on the move – How do we get around in our city? How do we want to get around?
At least half the talks feature cycling as a transport choice, which is a pretty great mode share if you ask us.
