The laws for using a bicycle
From NZTA: "If you are on a footpath with your cycle you should be walking with it, unless you are delivering mail or are cycling a wheeled recreation device that has a wheel diameter less than 355 millimetres (normally a tricycle or small child's bicycle)."
It is against the law to cycle on a pedestrian walkway unless it is clearly shared walkway, half for cyclists and the other half for pedestrians. In the last few weeks of Alert Level 4, I have narrowly avoided being hit by adult cyclists (in groups) while out walking on several occasions now. There is VERY little traffic around at the moment, so there is even less reason for cyclists to not use the road for their daily outings. Putting others at risk at this time is not only breaking the law of road/pedestrian pathway use, but also breaching the requirements of Alert Level 4. Anything that puts yourselves or others at risk is a breach.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
