Thank you truckies! I had a completely (and I do mean completely) clear run from Greenlane to Gillies Ave. Not one single vehicle, other than me.

I'd just like to say thanks to the truckies (and good luck with your protest), and thank you to the cop who watched me go past.

And to all the people heading south, if you saw a lone rider heading north doing a "titanic" on an empty Newmarket overbridge . . . it was meeeee!!!

It was a beautiful ride along the waterfront, Tamaki drive was completely empty. More protests please.

Couldn't log onto the transit webcam site as they appeared to be overloaded lol.

Everyone staying at home maybe?

Exactly the same for me. About a dozen or so cages and myself pootling along on empty roads.
Go the truckies!!!:niceone:

Hallelujah!

You truckies can do this every day.

The only time I used my brakes today was when I had to slow down before a corner.

And clear blue skies. :Punk:

Don't think so - it was around 7:15 so a fair bit darker. But, it would have looked a lot like this:

The best ride home ever was when there was a major power cut in Auckland CBD. No traffic lights were working and it only took 5 min - normally 20 min. Just goes to show how poorly Auckland City are managing the traffic.
