Hey there Renee!
Welcome to KB (and to NZ).
Christchurch is a pretty cool city, and you'll find heaps of awesome roads to ride in the South Island.

Riding around the city must suck tho. If I was to move back to Chch I'd be living up in the hills or in Governers Bay so I at least got some corners on the way to work

Yeah but still much easier to go for an awesome weekend blat than up here. Unfortunately I was born financially stunted so for now have to stay here for work.

I know how you feel. I couldn't move back financially either. I'd take a 40% pay cut and the cost of living isn't *that* much less. Can get a much nicer house with $400k tho.

Auckland is the best of both worlds I reckon. Great climate, good $$, good riding on the doorstep. Pity about the traffic but on a bike
