3.6.4 Trip facilities Recreation and touring cyclists often undertake long trips and consequently have special requirements. Urban recreation cyclists using reserves and similar resting places need drink fountains and toilets, typically at five km intervals. Touring cyclists need rest areas at about two-hour (30 to 40 km) intervals. These should include water supply points, shelter from the weather, tables and toilets. They also need access to shops for provisions, and to phones in emergencies. Such facilities will often be available in towns along routes. Good examples of remote rural rest areas include Kawatiri Junction between Nelson and Westport, and Lyell in the Buller Gorge. Rural townships are ideal locations for rest areas. Rest area with toilets, water and shelter, Waiau township, North Canterbury, New Zealand. (Photo: Tim Hughes) 3.7 Summary Table 3.1 summarises the relevance of cyclists’ needs to cycle planning. It is necessarily broad and subjective, and individual cyclists will vary. Interpret the table with caution, and use your own judgement. 22
