    Parking in Wellington CBD

    Hi,

    Anybody knows any covered parkings in Wellington CBD? I know that in Auckland there are special places in public parkings to be used by motorcycles for free.
    Is there such thing in Wellington?

    The main reason is of course, the wind

    Thanks.

    To use the same thread, can you please recommend a good bike shop in Wellington / Porirua? I need a helmet and pants.

    Cheers

    Sorrin, there is currently a massive discourse on just this subject (parking in CBD) in the Biker News forum. You may wish to check it out.

    I personally wouldn't warn you off any of the bike shops in the region, they're all pretty on to it. For riding gear though, you may also want to check out Leather Direct in Cuba Mall.

    For parking it really depends on where in the city you will be located ....

    I work on Jervois Quay but I don't mind walking for 5 minutes, that would be the area between Panama Street - Boulcott St - Cuba St.

    Thanks for the topic with Wellington parking, I missed it since I'm very new to the forum.

    Hello again,

    Can somebody tell me where someone without a license can learn how to ride a bike? A 50km radius of Wellington would be great.
    It has to be a non public road because otherwise it will be illegal.

    I tried searching but I found only references to instructors that teach how to ride.

    Many thanks.

    Isn't the parking a public road? Or is it private and legal to do that?

    Thanks.

    I practiced recently (in a car) on the Harcourt Werry Drive side of Fraser Park. There's a car parking area there. Always empty if there are no sports events on.

    In theory, is it legal to learn to ride without a license on parking lots?
    I assume they are private, but I'd rather be safe than sorry later.

    Hi Sorin,

    If all your interested in is the basics to get you going and you want someone to give you a few pointers, just speak out. There are a number of people on here that live local to you who would quite happily give an hour of their time to help a newbie. (I'm presuming you are a newbie based on the questions asked).

    There is also the mentor scheme ran on here so again, just put your hand up.

    Although riding instructors such as Andrew and Lynne Templeton (Roadsafe) may seem 'expensive', believe me, they are well worth it. They will ensure that you do not start out with any bad habits from day one.
    DIY learning may appear to be a cheaper option but you have to look at the total cost. ie how much do you value life? Is a few dollars saved worth the risk. IMHO, get some professional training. You won't regret it.
