One day Transport NZ might listen..

Hey Kiwistoker

I've subsquentially heard different story too, seems like a lot of miscommunication !

I watched the debate on Close Up on Monday and have to wonder given Paul Henry's agressiveness towards the matter, if he was held up on the motorway on sunday too

BTW do you ride with the Manukau Vets ?

I guess I didn't read the article that well

In a way i'm happy they held up traffic on the Harbour Bridge..Auckland's a pretty poorly designed city in my view & I think motorists deserve something like this once in a while.

When we lived in Auckland, there didn't seem to be any attempt at improving public transport( do NOT get me started on the trains AGGGHGH..they couldn't even give a general indication if the trains would ever arrive!!!!)!

If we ever moved back to NZ, there'd be no freakin way i'd ever ride on the Auckland roads!!! I hated riding on Mt Albert Road UGH. Riding on the shore wasn't too bad...

It would be all mtn biking!!!

Yes I ride with the MCVCC, currently just moved to Singapore for the next 6 months- strangely enough I think I am going to miss the hills..

Anyway cycling in Auckland isn't all bad. Mt Albert Rd now have a cycle path marked on it so its a bit better. I did/do most of my riding in South Auckland around the Hunuas/Clevedon/Pukekohe way and that's heaps nicer- quiet country roads.

You cannot knock Auckland too much, building on area with two habours, lots of volcanic cones and natural choke points is not easy.
