    Ebikes, E-scooters.

    If this tree-hugger government wants to make a change to the cities there it is.


    Only problem in NZ is that the majority of our power generation relies on snow and rain fall ........... it's already proven to be a delicate system over the past couple decades and F-all done to improve it.

    It is now time for a single nuclear power generator in New Zealand. Maybe not in Christchurch or Kaikoura ...... Shane Jones can build it up north....

    no what we need is decentralised generation to ease load on existing network and eventually shitcan the grid.

    There is a site good to go on the Kaipara Harbour, even has the grid running to it.

    Got set up then the greenies killed it.

    So if the sanctimonious green narrative alone isn't enough to dislike the trend then the cheap arsed attempt at making provision for bikes alongside much faster and heavier traffic is certainly cause for ongoing drama.

    I'd not mind my tax money going towards dedicated separate cycleways along major commute routes, (trim the working for other peoples families budget a tad), just stop pretending there's any safe way to muscle proper traffic out the way to make room for bikes.
    My route to work now would be 70% segregated cycleways.

    EBikes are just fun. No rego, No Wofs and a bit of exercize.

    We cant import enough for the demand currently.

    IF we had intelligent regional council's, every new house would be required to have water collection and power generation built-in.

    However they can't even get that sorted out while they are rorting the current system.

    Back in 1974 or so we had a research program here to look at Nuclear power for NZ. The NZED as it was then had a couple of sponsored postgrads here. The proposed site was Lake Ellesmere. I can't remember why or when things changed.

    Cheers

    And WCC thought the Island Bay cycle way was problematic...

    Auckland cycleways - interesting that the Dutch have been doing this sort of things for years and perhaps know a thing or two, but AT don't seem to be able to ask for information...

    But then AT provides free parking in their car park buildings for motorbikes...

    It's the single thing about the whole project they were right about.

    I want my fucking rates back, ignorant bastards.

    I suspect there are a few others who would support you on that comment. "Don't tell us what you're thinking, we've already made up our minds!" seems to be a common response from council officers who are not elected...

    Mike Lee and the Generation Zero's Leroy Beckett both question the attitude of AT towards the communities and businesses that are affected by cycle-lanes - where is AT's evidence from best practice to support what they are doing?

    The cycle lane on Sandringham Rd Extn - google street view - appears to be a half-hearted attempt to improve cyclists' safety. Only problem now is that many of the "hi-viz yellow uprights" have disappeared... no true separation from traffic on a busy arterial that leads to a southern western motorway junction.

    Be interested to know what some of the cyclists in Auckland, or elsewhere for that matter, think of what was done...
