This editorial (6 April 2009) from the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) provides compelling evidence for encouraging cycling from a health perspective.  We know what to do in our communities to significantly increase the safety of cycling and the numbers of cyclists. What is needed now is action.

Auckland - Thursday 20 August 2009

ViaStrada is offering two SIDRA INTERSECTION training courses to be held in Auckland in April 2009.

ViaStrada entered two three-person relay teams in this year's Le Race, the iconic cycle race from Christchurch to Akaroa. And both teams brought home first prize. Congratulations!

Jon Ashford has joined the Christchurch office of ViaStrada as a Senior Engineer.

Those with a sharp eye may have spotted the five new ViaStrada icons on our website and other branded material.

The new icons better represent the full range of services offered by ViaStrada.

ViaStrada has won the overall Bike Wise Business Battle for nationwide organisations. Across our offices in Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin, we achieved a 100% staff participation rate. You can't go better than that!

ViaStrada is pleased to announce the opening of its Nelson regional office on 2^nd March. Quickfall Associates, an established resource management and planning consultancy servicing the top of the South Island, has rebranded as ViaStrada.

Xtra seems to again have problems with their spam filtering. Our staff have been asked to follow up with clients who have an @xtra.co.nz e-mail provider by phone. The Xtra spam filtering problem is beyond our control, as it is done by Xtra. There are some remedial measures that Xtra users can undertake.
