Moving to Wellington - What's it like having a bike in the Windy City?

[Road kill]

The worst problems in Wellington are the very high odds of some village person stealing your bike,so take a big chain an chain your bike to something that can't be moved.

The other thing is that the people seem pretty nice until you mention your from Auckland,and then this inferiority complex will suddenly appear and you'll have listen to a lot of whinging about The Blues,the Traffic,the drain on the enconomy and a whole lot of other shit you know nothing about and have even less interest in.

Believe me,,,just don't mention Auckland.

Really? Is bike theft a big problem in Wellington?

On a day like today, with the sun shining, and the Rimutaka Hill Road to play on, Wellington is heaven when you own a bike!

Wellington's great, Hell on my 1 hr lunch break last Wednesday I rode to the beach went for a snorkle and got a dozen scallops and two good sized paua (all legal) and was back at my desk within the hour. You get used to the wind
but remember if you ever use a bike cover outside tie it on as it will act as a bloody good sail and pull you bike over or deposit it in the next suburb.

Must be like living in the Islands?...but with way less coconut trees.
