Historic Kopu Bridge welcomes Tour Aotearoa Cycling Brevet

Carolyn from Thames

When the first wave of the 2021 Tour Aotearoa Cycling Brevet departs Cape Reinga on Sunday 21st February, participants will be heading for Bluff on a 3,000km journey which will bring them over the Hauraki Rail Trail to Kōpū. The Historic Kōpū Bridge’s gates will be open to welcome them to our area, weather permitting, from 7am to 3pm (or later, volunteers permitting) from 21st February to 5th March. Tour Aotearoa participants will be just over 500km from Cape Reinga when they reach Kōpū, and about 2,500km from their destination. For a few weeks, the Historic Kōpū Bridge will be one of the most photographed heritage structures in the country. Throughout this period, the bridge is open to everyone: cyclists, walkers, joggers, birdwatchers… or if you have some tales to tell about the old days on the bridge, come along and share them with the volunteers. If you would like to join the roster for this event, please contact us. www.historickopubridge.co.nz... - facebook.com/savekopubridge - historickopubridge@gmail.com

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
