Kindness of strangers. !!
To those that stopped to assist an elderly man who collapsed in Haitaiti...You are my hero's......I stopped because I have some medical training { must say I would stop anyway]} But 4-5 others where first ! I was amazed that 3 people had done first aid training and felt comfortable if it came to cpr, 2 had first aid kits We where joined by a Dr and her cab driver, nieghbours had contacted the mans wife and all but the man with a new born stayed till the ambulance arrived[ once all controlled]
I guess for me, in this time and place it feels good to be a citizen of Wellington and NZ. To see such compassion and caring Lights up The soul.

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
