Although I did have to negotiate my way around a delivery van parked in the middle of the corridor, I was enjoying my ride.
Crossing at the traffic lights made what seemed quite daunting actually really easy and I was able to move along at my own pace despite the much slower foot traffic.
Navigating the construction work at Te Manawa was admittedly a nightmare.
I had to cut the entire way around what was a small pathway and at one point narrowly missed a pedestrian as I rounded a blind corner.
But this is something I can't criticise the Green Corridor for and I am curious to see how the cycle traffic will move through that space once it's complete.
Tutanekai St was where I had the most to complain about.
The plant boxes and benches made it difficult to access the cycle side of the footpath and I did fear I would crash into a pedestrian.
The best part of this section was the red and white crossings, they were easy to spot as I cycled along and gave a clear direction for which way I was supposed to go.
I was lucky enough to know that the painted section of Haupapa St was the cycle lane, as I think this was the least signposted section.
Once I was on it, it was smooth sailing through to Kuirau Park.
My only criticism of this segment is that perhaps a crossing could be added at Amohia St.
Overall, I enjoyed it, the ride was smooth, flat, easy to follow and it didn't take much time at all to get through the city.
