    The bridge would be south of Greymouth. It takes out a heap of cyclists.

    There was one around Whakatane from memory, you had to pick which third of the bridge you wanted, and you were stuck with that until the end... got very patchy in various places but I think it was re-sealed a year or two ago and the rail portion removed.

    Do it the hard way, lose the front, under brakes - low side.. & the rear, under power, nearly caught it, then - high side.. bugger, ok - got it..

    Forget about steel strips on bridges, what about steel bridges?

    Close call, probably trying to keep up.

    Just go over it faster
    To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead.

    Stay to the left of the left rail so you dont have to cross over at the other end (when its wet.)

    I too have seen many cyclists come to grief on this bridge , same with the tram lines in CHCH.

    The cyclists are sorted now as they have a "cycle only" bridge clip on now.
    The bridge decking has also been repaired and the new bridge construction is likely to start in the next 12 months, so the cars and bikes will have their own bridge.
