As mentioned the other day, we made our way on Friday evening to the opening of the new Jolene Bar in central Christchurch – a great night it was too. While we were waiting to enter, we saw an interesting surprise appearance show up…
I know we saw plenty of horses on the streets when we were in Vienna and a few other European cities, but it certainly seems to be a rarity to see them in urban New Zealand, even more so on a separated cycleway (ironically we’ve just been completing some Auckland Transport guidelines on rural provision for active modes, including equestrian paths and crossings). I imagine this cyclist wasn’t the only one a bit surprised to see them here (and I have no idea how/if he managed to negotiate his way around them…).
Have you ever encountered horses while out riding your bike?
Follow-up Dad joke thought: maybe we should categorise this as a NEIGHbourhood greenway… 🙂
That was a laugh emoji, unfortunately it didn’t come through in the comment.
