But before getting out on your bike, make sure you take time to check out some great ways to help you and your mates enjoy the ride this summer!
Remember the most experienced rider should ride at the back of the pack, and plan your stops along the way. If you find yourself ahead of the group slow down and wait for others to catch up. And as always, ride your own ride and stay Shiny Side Up!
Hi neighbours,

Does our attitude toward disability carparks need to change? Stuff Nation contributor Noel Burland thinks so.
He expressed his opinion of the topic after an article appeared on Stuff about a man in Rangiora, who had taken his nine-year-old son who has Cerebral Palsy to the local swimming pool, and found a note on his car that read: "not genuine, shame on you" on his windscreen after he legally had used a disability park outside the pool.
"The person who left the note has quite clearly made an egregious error of judgement, something that may be more common than we realise,
" Burland said.
"That error was the fact that not all disabilities are visible and this person was completely wrong to assume the family weren't entitled to use the park - despite the fact they had the proper disability card displayed on the dashboard of their car."
So we want to hear your opinion on this topic. Have you ever faced a situation like this in your community? Do you think most people understand the rules around disability carparks? Do drivers need to improve their attitudes? Share your thoughts in the replies below.
(Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/ comments used on Stuff)
Need or would like any of the items have them available for free in Newtown. Liquid smoke is used to give a hint of smokiness in cooking.
Happy New Year 🌰🌱🌳 cheers Faye

Hi, everyone! I’m looking for a mattress (can fit king size frame) or bed. As I don’t have a car, we need to figure out how to move it. Please feel free to contact me if you have related information, many thanks!

Hi Neighbours,
As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?
