Getting a lot of flak for riding my bike to work today 😲 Pointed out it was actually a fun ride - warm and dry is overrated! - and besides, it's that kind of car-brained attitude which is causing all this rain, doncha think? 😉 #ClimateActionNow 🚲🌏

I haven’t seen negative worldwide headlines about haka. I have seen negative headlines about our Govt’s climate denial policies, cancelling our world leading smokefree policy, dangerous policies on road safety that are against international best practice & will kill more people

The Ghost Bike Art Installation in Auckland’s city centre draws attention to the deaths and serious injuries that will be the result of reversing the safer speeds laws (increasing roads to 50km/h in many areas where reduced to 30km/h for safety reasons) 😭 #saferspeeds

59 bikes. 59 lives. Thousands left grieving. Each ghost bike represents a person on a bike killed in NZ. In almost all cases, lower speed limits would have reduced the harm.

It’s like The Dance of Death, this pretence among the money-makers and world-shapers that nothing is happening to our planet. My #cartoon today #COP29 #ClimateCrisis #NZpol #Floods #fires #FossilFuels
Cartoon. Title: It’s going to be a hot summer. Image of skeletons leaping about in flames. The second image is titled With A Little Bit of Rain. The picture shows skeletons in a flood. One is using a COP29 sign as a kick board and saying, “I don’t feel as buoyant as I used to”

Gotta love the irony of the company name 🙃 "Access Problems" is more appropriate 🤣 Plus usual rudeness from the driver "I can park where I like!" "It's only for 5 mins" "Who are you to tell me what to do" "where am I supposed to park"😣

93% of NZ garages are carpeted, filled with storage, kids’ toys, gym equipment and assorted household bits. “Everything except for the car. Where do you park the car?” Duh - on the street/public property of course 😠 #PrivateCarStorage nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/ike…

‘Where do you park the car?’ Ikea's surprise after sending staff to check out 500 Kiwi homes

What does the company’s research mean for its Sylvia Park store?

OPINION: Following the Government’s proposal to ban safer speed limits, I have received many messages of shock and disappointment from schools, parents and groups.

No matter how my day is going, biking with my 4-year old back from her school makes it all better. My girls are the reason I fight so hard for safer streets. This should be normal. It can be with the right infrastructure.

“NZTA recommends cyclists be given at least 1.5m clearance. Mr Hill was not aware of this. Had Mr Hill given Mr Stewart 1.5m clearance, the crash would not have occurred.” 😭😲😡 #VisionZero stuff.co.nz/nz-news/35033374…

Give cyclists space: Man was killed because house bus driver passed too close

The driver of a house bus should not have been behind the wheel, and police handling of the scene and evidence was sub-par, a coroner has found in a critical report.
