Rangiora Cyclist Findlay Johnson
I'm writing a book about the history of the Timaru to Christchurch Cash Cycle Race from 1899 to 1960. I recall a Rangiora cyclist Findlay Johnson competing in the race mid 1950 to early 1960. He was a gutsy rider, as he had a disability which restricted him to riding with one leg only. Did anyone know him or does he have family still living in the area?
Rangiora was strong in cash cycling for many years. Richard Laskey from Southbrook won the race and recorded fastest time in 1926. I have great photo of him. I would welcome any help anyone can offer, including old programme books, photos, posters etc. Thank you

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
