I bused into the city and learned about the nationwide ban in NZ on bikes on bus bike racks. I'm reading about it now. The NZ Transport Agency surprised everyone by declaring this unsafe in November.
It's great to know that when the NZTA identifies a safety concern on our roads, it acts swiftly to shut it down regardless of inconvenience to commuters.
I assume that giant SUVs will be next, and NZTA's plans to increase speed limits will now be shelved.
