So easy and interesting to be able to see the city ( every nook and cranny pretty much ) in a week on two wheels. All interests, abilities and codes well catered for. It’s time to get the sizzle onto the sausage; in particular there is a silver demographic who is itching to see the country on bikes as the cruise, the islands, the trip to see family in Aus are all currently off the menu.

It just makes me realise how fabulous the Coastal Pathway and other MCRs are now – I have biked over the Waimakariri Bridge four times already (2 return trips).

No – its still pretty much exactly as pictured. Still a pleasant straight cruise, but it duplicates the Linwood Ave one so probably won’t be high on priorities.

Has that Linwood drain path changed at all? It looks like a great candidate for partial renaturalisation.
