I live in Wellington and bike to work every morning (8km). Sure Wellington is not well set up for cycling - the streets are narrow, bike lanes are few (although my route is OK).

NZ drivers in general have a very low opinion/respect/tolerance for cyclists, although Wellington drivers seem to be a lot more polite than elsewhere.
