Walking, biking, ride-sharing, or even choosing an e-bike or other electric vehicles all help reduce our climate impact while saving on fuel and parking costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Active transport doesn\u2019t just cut emissions; it improves fitness, lowers stress, and helps us feel more connected to our neighbourhood. In Ngaio, we have the chance to make cycling, walking, and shared transport safer, easier, and more appealing, creating a healthier and more connected community for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Community in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, Ngaio Climate Crew attended the bike ride to the Ngaio Crofton Downs community picnic! Neighbours of all ages joined in, riding together to a local spot where we shared food, laughter, and ideas. Events like this are a reminder that active transport isn\u2019t just practical; it can also bring joy and community spirit to everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" data-id=\"2355\" src=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic4.jpg 475w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic4-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" data-id=\"2356\" src=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic5.jpg 475w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic5-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" data-id=\"2357\" src=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic3.jpg 475w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic3-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" data-id=\"2359\" src=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic2.jpg 475w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic2-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"844\" height=\"633\" data-id=\"2358\" src=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic1.jpg 844w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ngaio.org.nz\/wp2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bikepicnic1-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re looking for volunteers to help Ngaio &amp; Crofton Downs residents transition the way they move.
