Poll: Should cyclists ride single file?

Reporter Franklin County News

Stuff posted an article recently about an Auckland motorist stuck behind two cyclists chatting away while taking up the road

In the article Peter Kruger, a cyclist himself, said he had no issues with cyclists – but these two were riding side by side with no consideration for motorists.

Currently, the law allows cyclists to ride side-by-side.

But states when the road was narrow or vehicles couldn't pass, cyclists should move to form a single file.

This raises the question. Should it be illegal for two or more cyclists to ride next to one another on the road?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
