4K Bike Commute | Riding Through the Heart of Auckland’s Queen Street

[@ChantalPugin]

Woaww ! Just remember when I was in Auckland for the holidays in 2018 Britomart was wide open for the build of the Metro. Very nice now ❤

[@BikeDispatch]

It’s getting there eh! Good vibe around lower Queen St and when the CRL is built it’ll be top✌🏻

[@BikeDispatch]

Hopefully you can understand my kiwi accent😂🇳🇿pleaseee like and sub ❤

[@raxn58]

Wow, Q St is looking good these days!

[@BikeDispatch]

Absolutely. I think the council has more development plans in store for it. I did notice the uphill path ends randomly, but I may have missed a sign. 🤣Thanks for your feedback. 🙏

@@BikeDispatch haha nah it does just end there. You can go right and up Vincent Street and there will be a new cycle lane on Pitt Street soon. However that Queen Street uphill is usually pretty good - not too many cars use it.

@@420jontgood tip thanks🙏

[@traveleye1001]

You’re easy to understand at least for this Aussie. Love your work. Just curious-what make and model is your e-bike? I have a Giant Talon e+3 and love it. Also - can’t believe you don’t wear gloves in the chilly early Spring weather. I’m in Newcastle and still wearing long fingered gloves. I must be soft, just like our Wallabies haha.

🤣thanks! The Ebike i ride is a Trek powerfly 4, 2019 model. 99spokes.com/en-NZ/bikes/trek/2020/powerfly-4 It’s clocked up 13,000kms on it’s 500amp battery which seems pretty good. I have noticed the amps don’t draw as much as it used to if using turbo for example. It really pays for itself when the weather is heinous or windy and my other bikes are grounded. I def need new gloves, you right! 🤣🙏cheers🇳🇿

What bike do you use, I have the trek verve 2 plus 2021. I rode to work in this weather and managed to get the flue. Keep up the great work

[@BikeDispatch]

Oh no! It’s been a pretty rough commute the last week for sure. I’ve got a Trek Powerfly 4 with the Bosch performance line motor and a 500amp battery. It’s clocked up 13,000kms since 2019 and still going well. It’s been serviced professionally 2 times and had gearing and a cassette upgrade. The chain needs replacing 1-2 times a year! It’s been great and would recommend it. The only issue is now that Torpedo7 is winding down, where do we get our Trek bikes serviced?
