There is nothing better than getting out for a ride with your friends. But before getting out on your bike, make sure you take time to check out some great ways to help you and your mates enjoy the ride this summer!

Remember the most experienced rider should ride at the back of the pack, and plan your stops along the way. If you find yourself ahead of the group slow down and wait for others to catch up. And as always, ride your own ride and stay Shiny Side Up!

Watch: Is this the coolest thing to do in NZ?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?

How much do flash jandals cost now?

Jonathan Milne Reporter from Sunday Star Times

But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've … View moreJandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop.

But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?

Paying the price of summer

Dishonesty threatens NZ's honesty stalls

Paul Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighbours,

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.

Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.

Hi Neighbours,

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.

Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.

One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.

But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?

New Year's Eve festivals dotted down the length of the country are drawing thousands of party-goers with music, dancing and drinking, but options for those hoping to enjoy celebrating in Canterbury appear pretty slim.

Organised events for those in the Garden City looking to ring in the new year are mostly confined to pubs, bars and restaurants.

But there is the annual family-friendly celebrations in North Hagley Park. The night will kick off with family entertainment from 6pm, including a performance from comedian Mullet Man, free activities, fairies, and a kids countdown at 8pm. Headline act The Jordan Luck Band will take the stage before a midnight fireworks display.

What have you got planned this New Year's Eve?
