I'm 74 and have an e bike which I would enjoy more with company. I can't commit to a club because I have stuff to do for my grandkids at varying times. At the moment I prefer bike tracks as I find busy traffic unnerving, but I might improve with a buddy... I enjoy riding to neighbouring towns. I live in Paraparaumu Beach. Cheers, Richard 0274846546

Hi neighbours,

What do you think about the Wellington City Council's move to ban "bottomless brunches?"

All-you-can-drink alcoholic beverages over a restaurant brunch could be in jeopardy after councillors indicated a ban on such deals.

Several establishments across the city offer unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for a fixed price and this has led to complaints of excessive drinking.

Wellington City Council spokesman Richard MacLean mentioned that several complaints were being followed up by council and police regarding these "all you can drink" deals.

“The ‘bottomless brunch' arrangements are a clear breach of liquor-licensing laws - which are designed to rule out irresponsible consumption of alcohol and intoxication,” MacLean said.
