Rant Time

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

If you are going for a walk, jog or bike ride around sunset, including heading home from work, by one of those methods, please, please, please, for the love of all things precious, stand in front of a mirror, in the dark!
If you can’t see yourself, neither can anyone else!
Do something about it!

I am getting well fed up with all the bloody close calls, because I don’t have night vision eyesight. And being abused for not seeing a shadow in the dark is bloody out of order.

Just because you can ‘see perfectly fine’ doesn’t mean you can be seen. And the same goes for drivers and headlights.

And last but not least, the bike paths between Havers and Hastings are not on the road. They’re shareways, on the other side of the berm. Same for Joll Road. Please use them. They were built specifically for you.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
